Richard Walsh has brought together a collection that forms an indispensable source on the scholarship of the manifold cinematic imaginings of Jesus, Christ, and other messianic figures, not only for scholars of theology and religion, but also for media and cultural studies scholars. * Laura Copier, Utrecht University, the Netherlands *\u003cbr\u003eRichard Walsh’s exhaustively researched and sharply observed handbook examines how and why artists from around the world have appropriated the figure of Jesus as well as the symbol of Christ, emerging with a plurality of Screen Saviors. The result —an adroit anthology that captures, with bracing clarity, the Nazarene’s enduring legacy within our culture — is riveting. * Darren J. N. Middleton, John F. Weatherly Professor of Religion, Texas Christian University, USA *\u003cbr\u003eScholars of film and religion interested in the person of Jesus will find plenty of insights in the individual chapters expertly collected and curated by Walsh. * Journal of Religion and Film *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eList of Figures\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eList of Contributors\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eIntroduction: The Jesus Film Tradition - \u003ci\u003eRichard Walsh, Methodist University, USA\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003ePart One: The Jesus Film Tradition\u003c\/b\u003e 1.
