Summary: "Screen Priests" is a fascinating historical look at films about Roman Catholic priests from the first until Martin Scorsese's 2016 religious and cinematic masterpiece "Silence". With the scope spanning decades and the breadth embracing films mostly from the United States, Britain, Ireland, Canada and Australia, the researcher will find a treasure trove and the film aficionado will relish Peter Malone's encyclopedia knowledge and sometimes trivia of the world of priests on the silver screen. I found the historical introduction to the church and priesthood a helpful context to the understanding the worlds of sacerdotal cinema. The appendices and index assist greatly in navigating this impressive tome." -- Rose Pacatte
