Description
Article [1] That Christ-figures are not uncommon in popular culture texts such as film and television is both widely accepted and hotly debated. Anton Karl Kozlovic points out that, in interpreting film, scholars--like audiences in general--must steer between the extremes of seeing Christ-figures everywhere and missing them altogether. Kozlovic calls for more research and writing devoted to developing criteria that will allow interpreters to discern Christ-figure elements more clearly.
