The summer of 2007 was the centerpiece of a record boxoffice year for Hollywood, with sales rebounding from near-disastrous levels in previous seasons. The summer of three-quels played the major role, but there were major surprises that Captain Jack, Spidey, Shrek, and Jason Bourne could not deliver. Surprises like Facing the Giants, the follow-up to the Sherwood Pictures indie hit Flywheel. But that wasn't all. Spirituality played special roles in films like Children of Men and Pan's Labyrinth, too. This year's collection of reviews covers 160 top films, every one of them reviewed from HollywoodJesus.com's spiritual perspective. The ideas that move the world infuse the cinema, and audiences are paying attention more than ever. Into the darkness of the theatre comes a great light. God is behind the screen and Jesus is in the seats. Take a close look when you're there.

Since the advent of the cinema, Jesus has frequently appeared in our movie houses and on our television screens. Indeed, it may well be that more people worldwide know about Jesus and his life story from the movies than from any other medium. Indeed, Jesus' story has been adapted dozens of times throughout the history of commercial cinema, from the 1912 silent From the Manger to the Cross to Mel Gibson's 2004 The Passion of the Christ. No doubt there are more to come. Drawing on a broad range of movies, biblical scholar Adele Reinhartz traces the way in which Jesus of Nazareth has become Jesus of Hollywood. She argues that Jesus films both reflect and influence cultural perceptions of Jesus and the other figures in his story. She focuses on the cinematic interpretation of Jesus' relationships with the key people in his life: his family, his friends, and his foes. She examines how these films address theological issues, such as Jesus' identity as both human and divine, political issues, such as the role of the individual in society and the possibility of freedom under political oppression, social issues, such as gender roles and hierarchies, and personal issues, such as the nature of friendship and human sexuality. Reinhartz's study of Jesus' celluloid incarnations shows how Jesus movies reshape the past in the image of the present. Despite society's profound interest in Jesus as a religious and historical figure, Jesus movies are fascinating not as history but as mirrors of the concerns, anxieties, and values of our own era. As the story of Jesus continues to capture the imagination of filmmakers and moviegoers, he remains as significant a cultural figure today as he was 2000 years ago.

In their study of religion and film, religious film analysts have tended to privilege religion. Uniquely, this study treats the two disciplines as genuine equals, by regarding both liturgy and film as representational media. Steve Nolan argues that, in each case, subjects identify with a represented 'other' which joins them into a narrative where they become participants in an ideological 'reality'. Finding many current approaches to religious film analysis lacking, Film, Lacan and the Subject of Religion explores the film theory other writers ignore, particularly that mix of psychoanalysis, Marxism and semiotics - often termed Screen theory - that attempts to understand how cinematic representation shapes spectator identity. Using translations and commentary on Lacan not originally available to Screen theorists, Nolan returns to Lacan's contribution to psychoanalytic film theory and offers a sustained application to religious practice, examining several 'priest films' and real-life case study to expose the way liturgical representation shapes religious identity. Film, Lacan and the Subject of Religion proposes an interpretive strategy by which religious film analysts can develop the kind of analysis that engages with and critiques both cultural and religious practice.

2005 marks the fiftieth anniversary of Nikos Kazantzakis' The Last Temptation of Christ. Since Kazantzakis ranks as one of the twentieth century's most important European writers, and given that this particular work of his has garnered so much publicity, this collection of essays re-assesses the novel, though not forgetting the movie, in light of one half century's worth of criticism and reception history. Clergy and laity alike have denounced this novel. When it first appeared, the Greek Orthodox Church condemned it, the Vatican placed it on its Index of Forbidden Texts, and conservative-evangelicals around the world protested its allegedly blasphemous portrayal of a human, struggling Messiah who "succumbs" to the devil's final snare while on the Cross: the temptation to happiness. Assuredly, the sentiments surrounding this novel, at least in the first thirty years or so, were very strong. When Martin Scorcese decided in the early 1980s to adapt the novel for the silver screen, even stronger feelings were expressed. Even today his works are seldom studied in Greece, largely because the Greek government is unable or unwilling to anthologize his material for the national curriculum. After fifty years, however, the time seems right to re-examine the novel, the man, and the film, locating Kazantzakis and his work within an important debate about the relationship between religion and art (literary and cinematic). Until now a book-length assessment of Kazantzakis' novel, and the film it inspired, has not appeared. No such volume is planned to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the novel's publication. For those who work in Kazantzakis studies, a focused anthology like this one is missing from library collections. The volume contains original essays by Martin Scorcese, the film critic Peter Chattaway, and Kazantzakis' translator, Peter A. Bien.

From the summer of 2005 through the spring of 2006, ticket sales rebounded from the near- disaster of the previous twelve months. Leading the charge were fantasy films and comic book franchises, with Superman, Batman, Harry Potter, Aslan the Lion, and Captain Jack Sparrow captivating wide audiences. King Kong even scaled more than the Empire State Building, grabbing a couple handfuls of year-end honors. But that wasn't all. Spirituality made new inroads with films about missionaries, ministers, and Madea. This year's collection of reviews covers 100 top films, every one of them reviewed from HollywoodJesus.com's spiritual perspective. The ideas that move the world infuse the cinema, and audiences are still paying attention. Into the darkness of the theatre comes a great light. God is behind the screen, and Jesus is in the seats. Take a close look the next time you're there. The 2005-2006 collection features the writing of twenty-eight of the Hollywood Jesus reviewers: Kathy Bledsoe, Maurice Broaddus, Michael Brunk, Peter Cruikshank, Jim Davis, Brian Dedmon, Mike Furches, James Harleman, Matthew Hill, Matt Kinne, Melinda Ledman, Elisabeth Leitch, Darrel Manson, Kevin Miller, Marcus Pittman, Tom Price, Ken Priebe, Michael Ray, Scott Roche, Jacob Sahms, Mike Smith, Johann Snyder, Tim Spanburg, Mark Ezra Stokes, Ed Travis, Chris Utley, Greg Wright, and Jenn Wright. Reviews are grouped by categories of popularity, and arranged alphabetically within those categories. Fans of a particular reviewer can find a short bio and list of reviews in the Index of Reviewers.
