Staley introduce students to these films with a general overview of the Jesus film tradition and with specific analyses of 22 of its most influential exemplars, stretching from \u003ci\u003eLa vie du Christ\u003c\/i\u003e (1906) to \u003ci\u003eMary Magdalene\u003c\/i\u003e (2018). The introduction to each film includes discussion of plot, characters, visuals, appeal to authority, and cultural location as well as consideration of the director's (and\/or other filmmakers') achievements and style. Several film chapters end with reflections on problematic issues bedeviling the tradition, such as cultural imperialism and patriarchy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTo assist teachers and researchers, each chapter includes a listing of DVD chapters and the approximate \"time\" (for both DVDs and streaming platforms) at which key film moments occur. The book also includes a Gospels Harmony cataloging the time at which key gospel incidents appear in these films. Extensive endnotes point readers to other important work on the tradition and specific films. While the authors strive to set the Jesus film tradition within cinema and its interpretation, the DVD\/streaming listing and the Gospels Harmony facilitate the comparison of these films to gospel interpretation and the Jesus tradition.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRichard Walsh\u003c\/b\u003e is Womack Professor of Philosophy and Religion and Co-Director of the Honors Program at Methodist University in Fayetteville, North Carolina, USA, and is the author of \u003ci\u003eReading the Gospels in the Dark\u003c\/i\u003e and editor of the\u003ci\u003e T\u0026amp;T Clark Handbook of Jesus and Film\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eJeffrey L.
