...King of Kings and George Stevens' overwrought 1965 The Greatest Story Ever Told. In this new film, there is no digression into the sexual enticements of Salome, no subplot on Barabbas, and no theorizing about the motives of Judas as in Franco Zeffirelli's TV Jesus of Nazareth. On the other hand, there is almost no character development, although Brian Deacon, an English actor, manages to portray a Christ who is much less mystical and more appealing than most of the previous celluloid renderings...

...with suitably celestial music as the star of Bethlehem scoots in from the galactic end-zone. Three camels with robed riders poke their way across a sea of sand-dunes, towards a shabby huddle of huts and mangers.

"People claim to show Jesus as politically committed, as one who fought against Roman oppression and the authorities and also as one involved in the class struggle," said the Pope. "This idea of Christ as a political figure, a revolutionary, as the subversive man from Nazareth, does not tally with the church's catechesis." The Gospel and the church, he preached, must transcend all political ideologies.

...state as complicated as serious religion; at any rate, the vocabularies are sometimes interchanged. Terms like "immortal" get thrown around. The Beatles' boast in 1966 that "we're more popular than Jesus now" was a cheeky little blasphemy accurately located an intersection between Liverpool and Nazareth. In her book Fame, Susan Margolis noticed that "today the gifted as well as the deranged among us are struggling to be famous the way earlier Americans struggled to be saved...
