Richard Walsh and Jeffrey L. Staley have introduced students to this tradition with a comprehensive overview and detailed analyses of 22 of its most influential exemplars, spanning from La vie du Christ (1906) to Mary Magdalene (2018). Each film chapter begins with a discussion of the plot, characters, visuals, appeal to authority, and cultural location, as well as the directors' achievements and style. Additionally, several chapters end with reflections on problematic issues such as cultural imperialism and patriarchy. To assist teachers and researchers, the book includes a DVD\/streaming listing and a Gospels Harmony cataloging the time at which key gospel incidents appear in these films. Extensive endnotes provide readers with further references to important work on the tradition and specific films. While the authors aim to place the Jesus film tradition within the context of cinema and its interpretation, the DVD\/streaming listing and the Gospels Harmony facilitate the comparison of these films to gospel interpretation and the Jesus tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 491g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780567693839                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Professor RichardWalsh,Professor Jeffrey L.Staley","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44094389059834,"sku":"9780567693839","price":42.84,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/jesus-the-gospels-and-cinematic-imagination-introducing-jesus-movies-christ-films-and-the-messiah-in-motion","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
