From The Passion of the Christ to Life of Brian, and from The Ten Commandments to Last Temptation of Christ, filmmakers have been adapting Bible stories for over 120 years. The Höritz Passion Play was filmed in the Czech Republic in 1897, inspiring musicals, comedies, sci-fi, surrealist visions, and the avant-garde. Filmmakers from six continents and all religious perspectives have adapted the greatest stories ever told, delighting some and infuriating others. 100 Bible Films is the indispensable guide to this wide and varied output, providing an authoritative but accessible history of biblical adaptations through one hundred of the most interesting and significant biblical films. Richly illustrated with film stills, this book depicts how such films have undertaken a complex negotiation between art, commerce, entertainment, and religion. Matthew Page traces the screen history of the biblical stories from the very earliest silent passion plays to the golden ages of the biblical epic, through to more innovative and controversial later films, as well as covering significant TV adaptations. He discusses films made by some of our greatest filmmakers, artists such as Martin Scorsese, Jean Luc Godard, Alice Guy, Roberto Rossellini, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Lotte Reiniger, Carl Dreyer, and Luis Buñuel, as well as those looking to explore their faith or share it with lovers of cinema worldwide.
