How Hysterical

" Through sophisticated transdisciplinary analysis of the nexus of the Bible and film, How Hysterical greatly advances our understanding of some of the politics, dynamics, and complexities of identity formation. It should have a great impact across several different fields, not the least of which I hope will be biblical studies. " -Vincent L. Wimbush, Union Theological Seminary

" This book marks a major step forward in biblical and cultural studies. Runions offers a wise and incisive mapping of the complex circuits through which biblical themes and images circulate within popular culture. At the same time, she points us toward rich new possibilities for ' thinking otherwise' . " - Randall Styers, Department of Religious Studies, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
