I've long had an interest in films on the life of Christ. This book is a helpful resource. This link is included for some supplementary material. I am also interested in Christ-figures in film, and there is a short section at the end of the last chapter ("Teaching Jesus Films") on "Christ-Figure Films". 2 books are recommended: Movie Christs and Anti-Christs by Peter Malone and Imaging the Divine:Jesus and Christ Figures in Film by Lloyd Baugh, both of which look good.

My 3 frustrations were

1) the lack of an index;

2) inconsistent references to the films such that some chapters referred to the films by their titles while others referred to them by the directors' names alone, so finding which film is referred to when it is called "Zecca" requires a better memory than I have or searching through other sections of the book [thus my need for an index];

3) no addresses or contact information for the DVDs, so that "The Life and Passion of Jesus Christ" references "Image Entertainment" but gives no further information on address/phone/web addy to contact them or obtain the film. A search of amazon.com is easy enough, I guess, but I'd have thought the web address to the company (or even a direct one to the film, though I guess that kind of specific information might not be stable) would have been easy enough to include.

from the back of the book:

Movies depicting the life of Jesus continue to be a captivating way to consider how the Gospels present an image and a narrative of Jesus. In Jesus, the Gospels, and Cinematic Imagination, Jeffrey Staley and Richard Walsh employ their biblical knowledge and admiration for films to summarize eighteen popular Jesus movies and to provide readers with the precise hour/minute/second on a DVD where each movie parallels the Gospel accounts of Jesus' life. This distinctive handbook includes practical suggestions for using Jesus films to teach, enhancing the value of this resource for pastors, those, leading discussions of films, church study groups, and libraries.
