Want to order a signed copy of "Through a Screen Darkly" for yourself or a friend?
February 9, 2007 by Jeffrey Overstreet
I’ve had some inquiries, so I guess it makes sense to post these instructions:
If you would like me to send you a signed copy of Through a Screen Darkly from my own personal stash,
or if you’d like to surprise your movie-loving sibling by having a copy arrive in his mailbox,
or enlighten your parents (who have never understood your love for movies),
or challenge your pastor on issues regarding art and faith,
or start some conversations with the friend who always saves your seat while you go get popcorn,
or recommend to one of your teachers or professors that they consider the book as a classroom text,
well…
here’s what you can do:
Make a personal check out to Jeffrey Overstreet and send it to:
Jeffrey Overstreet
Seattle Pacific University
3307 3rd Ave W, Ste 116
Seattle, WA 98119-1997
That price will cover the book AND the shipping.
Price: $17.50 per copy.
PLEASE SPECIFY if you want me to write a note to someone in particular, and make sure I can read the name clearly.
And if this book is a birthday present, I’ll be happy to mention that in my note as well.
DON’T FORGET TO INDICATE the address to which you wish me to send the book.

Meanwhile, the book has just received a review from Relevant, thanks to Brett McCracken! Here’s a snippet:
“If you propose in academic or professional film circles the notion of ‘Christian film criticism’ as a serious discipline … you will probably be laughed off. Thankfully, we are taking steps to change that.
A significant step in the right direction has come with the brand new book by Jeffrey Overstreet, Through a Screen Darkly…. Overstreet … has taken it upon himself to free Christian arts journalism from the ghetto and shackles of narrow-mindedness, utilitarianism and aesthetic ambivalence (as well as the flipside — aesthetic gluttony). His new book … gives hope to all of us who struggle for a more thoughtful, measured and empathetic Christian perspective toward cinema.”
Thanks, Mr. McCracken!
