Intro/Welcome
The idea for this blog came about after I had worked on a project for a Christian history course I took while attending seminary. My prof encouraged me to continue with the project which I have decided to do and share with anyone who wants to know about the Jesus movie genre. Here you will find info on many of the Jesus movies or movies that feature Jesus as an integral character. Some are good, whilst others are bad or just plain ugly... or both.
So why this blog? Jesus is arguably the most influential and important person to have ever walked this world and I am always intrigued how film-makers envision and actors portray him. My hope is that you will enjoy this blog and should there be a movie or TV event that you feel would make agreat inclusion to this list then please email me and let me know... I will then consider it for inclusion.
Thanks and blessings, Chris St John
The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965)
From the MGM DVD release:""A magnificent film." - NY Daily News
"A soaring achievement" (Associated Press), this glorious epic is an inspiring, grand scale recreation of the life of Jesus of Nazareth, from His humble birth and teachings to His crucifixion and ultimate Resurrection.
Lavishly produced at a cost of $20 million -- an enormous amount for the time -- and honored with five 1965 Academy Award® nominations, this exceptional motion picture is exquisitely beautiful. Now fully restored to its original theatrical brilliance with intermission and overture, it is truly The Greatest Story Every Told."
