criticized the over emphasis of a hippie Jesus. He states‚ “‘Godspell’ pretty much reduces the story of Jesus to conform to a kind of flower-child paranoia that was probably more popular three or four years ago than it is today: the only way to survive in this world is to drop out of it‚ which‚ if you think about it‚ effectively reverses Jesus’ instructions to the disciples.” Nonetheless‚ this artistic and cultural take of Jesus shows a discernable shift from Jesus films in the earlier 20th century such

very detailed version of the birth of Christ‚ or the things that preceded it. It gives a very basic intro of John the Baptist and his testimony. There is a very limited account of Jesus’ baptism and the temptation that followed. Matthew’s Gospel gives a very detailed account of these events. Mark’s introduction only has fourteen verses.

I found it really challenging to go beyond the six descriptions presented in the

In this paper I am going to discuss the trials that took place before Jesus’ crucifixion. I will discuss this from a legal perspective using scripture. This paper is inspired by my father who is a lawyer and knowledgeable on the subject. I started thinking about this recently because it is right before Easter and it is a subject that really interests me. Jesus was unlawfully sentenced to death through the Jewish legal system and the Roman legal system. There were many opportunities for the legal
