‘The beginning of the 20th century evolved out of an era of Freethinking atheists and agnostics who challenged the Protestant hegemony of the day. Key among these mavericks was author and film maker Rupert Hughes, uncle to Howard Hughes. In 1932, Hughes published Souls for Sale, his wickedly playful satire of the Bible belt and Hollywood. Souls for Sale offers a glimpse into the emerging jazz age of movie making against the backdrop of a country moving from its traditional roots into the kinetic ways of Hollywood.'
Brent talks to Terry Lindvall, a film historian who occupies the C.S. Lewis Chair of Communication and Christian thought at Virginia Wesleyan University, Virginia in the States. Terry’s book ‘Souls for Sale: Rupert Hughes and the Novel Hollywood Religion' is published by Cascade Books.
