Re-Writing Jesus: Christ in 20th-Century Fiction and Film
- At the heart of Christian theology lies a paradox unintelligible to other religions and to secular humanism: that in the person of Jesus
- God became man
- And suffered on the cross to effect humanity's salvation
- In his dual nature as mortal and divinity
- And unlike the impassable God of other monotheisms
- Christ thus became accessible to artistic representation
- Hence the figure of Jesus has haunted and compelled the imagination of artists and writers for 2
- 000 years
- This was never more so than in the 20th Century
- In a supposedly secular age
