註釋Lindvall (visual communication, Regent U. in Virginia Beach, Virginia) brings together a collection of documents from the early-20th century which reveal the many forms of accommodation, resistance, and negotiation between silent film and religion (specifically, the Christian Protestant faith). The texts are grouped in a four-part chronological schema covering the early years, when the cinema was valued as a potential new tool for church work and social reform; the "great debates" between 1913 and 1919 over the moral and social consequences of the cinema; a renewal of interest in film as "the handmaiden of religion" from 1919-1920; and the subsequent conservative disillusionment with the entertainment culture from 1920- 1925. An extensive bibliography of additional articles and essays is included for those wishing further reading on the topic. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
