Reforming Hollywood:
How American Protestants Fought for Freedom at the Movies

William D. Romanowski shows how a broad spectrum of religious forces have played a role in Hollywood, from Presbyterians and Episcopalians to fundamentalists and evangelicals. Drawing on personal interviews and previously untouched sources, he describes how mainline church leaders lobbied filmmakers to promote the nation's moral health and, perhaps surprisingly, how they have by and large opposed government censorship, preferring instead self-regulation by both the industry and individual conscience. 

This event will include an introduction by Emily Schaefer, followed by a 30 minute presentation on the book, Q&A time, and a signing.
