Jesus at the Movies: A Guide to the First Hundred Years

by W. Barnes Tatum

Overview

Jesus has been in the movies for more than a hundred years. From the earliest days moviemakers have been fascinated by "the greatest story ever told" and have tried, with varying success, to capture the life of Jesus on film.

In Jesus at the Movies, Barnes Tatum has created the most thorough film-by-film viewer's guide ever to the films about Jesus. As author, biblical scholar, and teacher on religion and film, he looks at the promise these movies hold and the issues these movies raise as art, literature, biblical history and theology.
