Review: Matthew Rindge, Profane Parables | 123www.jrfm.eu 2016, 2/1, 121–123 can family values. In the final chapter, Rindge once again explains and summarises the thesis of film as a parable of disorientation and compares it to biblical parables. CONCLUSION Profane Parables offers an interesting interpretation of three interesting films that re- quires both knowledge of the biblical parables as well as a willingness to disregard other interpretations grounded in cultural studies. In my opinion, the most problem- atic point is the very diffuse application of the term “religion” in this book. The book might offer, however, some interesting impulses for theological work with film.
