Abstract

[...]Malone discusses the way Jesus fits into the biblical tradition of the Holy Fool. Films covered in this section include the French film Golgotha (1935); The Great Commandment (1939) in which Jesus is heard, but not seen due to production restrictions; The Blood of Jesus (1941), which was produced by and for African Americans; and a handful of other small productions including The Living Christ Series, produced for church audiences. [...]Adele Reinhartz's Jesus of Hollywood (New York: Oxford, 2009) takes a topical approach instead of a chronological approach to the history of Jesus and film. [...]the book as a whole lacks cohesion, though several of the individual essays in Screen Jesus provide unique insight. Since the history of Jesus films continues to unfold, attempts to capture it in print will always remain incomplete.
