520 |a This article provides a critical analysis and historical overview of four types of evangelical Christian images in American movies since 1970: the hypocritical, the psychotic, the naïve, and the insensitive evangelical. The typologies are examined through formal analysis, as well as considerations of script adaptation and critical responses. Historically, the benign religious images that dominated when religious representatives played constitutive roles in shaping the content of American movies at the site of production have generally been replaced with images that are provocative but equally lacking in verisimilitude. The essay concludes with a consideration of images that complicate these dominant types.
