Jesus, the Gospels, and cinematic imagination : a handbook to Jesus on DVD
Jeffrey Lloyd Staley (Author), Richard G. Walsh
"Movies depicting the life of Jesus continue to be a captivating way to consider how the Gospels present an image and a narrative of Jesus. In Jesus, the Gospels, and Cinematic Imagination, Jeffrey Staley and Richard Walsh employ their biblical knowledge and admiration for films to summarize eighteen popular Jesus movies and to provide readers with the precise hour/minute/second on a DVD where each movie parallels the Gospel accounts of Jesus' life. This distinctive handbook includes practical suggestions for using Jesus films to teach, enhancing the value of this resource for pastors, those leading discussions of films, church study groups, and libraries. Some of the films discussed include The Greatest Story Ever Told, Jesus Christ Superstar, Monty Python's Life of Brian, The Last Temptation of Christ, Jesus of Montreal, and The Passion of the Christ."--Jacket
