The first movie I remember watching as a child was Ben Hur. I watched it with my mother. It was the 1959 version of the film. While the movie is not specifically about Jesus, it tells the story of a Jew living in Judaea facing the rivalry of a childhood friend. Through his eyes we see Jesus. We meet Jesus in his humanity. Charlton Heston stars in t...

While the Nativity Story is a Family- Friendly movie, the Passion of Christis an Adult only movie. This Mel Gibson film tells the story of the crucifixion of Jesus in great detail.

In this film we are not watching a movie about the life of Jesus, but the question of who Jesus Christ is. While the other movies were Bible Stories, this is a story of how Jesus moves in the world today. This is a true story with the Christian themes found in apologetics. This movietakes place in Chicago in the 1980s and tells the story of Lee and...
This is another movie that doesn’t tell the story of Jesus but tells the story of people searching for answers. Who is Jesus? Does Jesus have any impact on our lives today? Is Jesus relevant today?
