Books by S. Brent Plate

Religion and Film introduces readers to both religious studies and film studies by focusing on the formal similarities between cinema and religious practices and on the ways they each re-create the world. S. Brent Plate shows that by paying attention to the ways films are constructed, we can shed new light on myths and rituals and vice versa.

Walter Benjamin, Religion, and Aesthetics is an innovative and creative attempt to unsettle and reconcieve the key concepts of religious studies through a reading with, and against, Walter Benjamin.
