Depending upon the specific time in history, people have looked to particular images of Jesus. With the event of film technology, still another Jesus is introduced--what might be called the 'filmlical' Jesus. It is important for people, both within and outside of the church, to view these films critically, so that they are not misinformed or confused by distorted accounts--assuming them to be the gospel. Following an introduction, the evolution of the Jesus film genre is explored in Chapters 2-6: The 'Silent' Jesus (silent films); the 'faceless' Jesus (1950s-60s epics); the 'real' Jesus (1960s-70s attempts at historical authenticity); Jesus--the song and dance man (musicals); and the 'human' Jesus (Jesus' humanity explored). Chapter 7 provides suggestions of how the Jesus films can be used in the program/educational life of the local church; Chapter 8 offers some final thoughts. The appendices include an annotated list of Jesus films and a list of film/video distributors and resources for finding Jesus films to view and study.
