Editorial Reviews

Christianity and the Arts
This is a reader-friendly text ... Those who lack formal theological education will find it relatively easy to follow Tatum's fluid and clear prose. At the same time, he poses questions designed to stretch and challenge even the most progressive Christian. Tatum is at his best when he hints that modern filmmakers are similar to the early Christians in their struggle to understand the biblical presentation of Jesus as both divine and human. The theological reflections provide a basis for a dialogue between Christianity and modern culture. A first-rate book!

Paul Verhoeven, Director, Total Recall
A fascinating analysis of all the Jesus movies that have been made since the beginning of cinematography.
