Since the dawn of film in the 1890s, religious themes and biblical
subjects have been a staple of cinema. One of the earliest focuses
of screen presentations was the Bible, especially the New Testament
and the Gospels. In Screen Jesus: Portrayals of Christ in
Television and Film, Peter Malone takes a close look at films in
which Jesus is depicted. From silent renditions of The Passion Play
to 21st-century blockbusters like The Passion of the Christ, Malone
examines how the history of Jesus films reflects the changes in
artistic styles and experiments in cinematic forms for more than a
century. In addition to providing a historical overview of the
Jesus films, this book also reveals the changes in piety and in
theological understandings of the humanity and divinity of Jesus
over the decades. While most of the Jesus films come from the
United States and the west, an increasing number of Jesus films
come from other cultures, which are also included in this study.
Fans and scholars interested in the history of religious cinema
will find this an interesting read, as will students and teachers
in cinema and religious studies, church pastors, parish groups, and
youth ministry.
