The majority of biblical films prominently feature Jesus, either as the central protagonist, in cameo appearances, or as a looming background presence or pattern. This handbook provides a comprehensive assessment of the field, drawing upon the insights of prominent biblical film critics and showcasing the diverse range of scholarship undertaken by scholars within the field. The handbook encompasses a wide array of films, including iconic masterpieces such as The Passion of the Christ, The King of Kings, Jesus of Nazareth, Monty Python's Life of Brian, Son of Man, and Mary Magdalene. These chapters cover two broad areas: Jesus films, which encompass a wide range of adaptations, including filmed passion plays, historical portrayals, and treatments that explore Jesus' life and teachings. Additionally, the handbook explores other cinematic Jesuses, encompassing followers who imitate Jesus' devotion or aesthetic, Christian Christ figures, antagonists, and competing figures within a pluralistic world. As one ventures beyond the boundaries of Christian theology, the question of what a film or interpreter does with Jesus or Christ becomes a matter of exploration and interpretation, rather than a strict adherence to traditional perspectives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 644g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 169 x 243 x 24 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780567698391\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44094435557626,"sku":"9780567698391","price":39.33,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1670588608589_book.jpg?v=1670691895","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/tt-clark-handbook-of-jesus-and-film-9780567698391","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
