Title: Modern pictures of Jesus..
Post by: Sofie on November 09, 2004, 11:06:57 AM
Hello everyone,

I am studying theology at the university and have a bit of a funny question.

I am doing some work where I have to find pictures, music lyrics or films where one might se a connection to Jesus. The main character does not have to be named Jesus (from Nasareth) but can be any popular image/song/film where threre is a hidden link (or resembelance) to the life or work of jesus..

It could also be any tips of modern art depicting Jesus.

Do you guys have any ideas? Help please :)

Kind regards
Sofie

ps: please excuse my spelling as English is not my first language.

There's a great song by Genesis called Salisbury Hill

 As for movies with hidden connection to the life of Jesus...
The Matrix movies.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Thanks for your ideas.

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner but I have been away from home and didn't have access to a computer.

Schindlers list and Anne Frank are brilliant! That I didn't think of that! daaahh.. ??? :P

Someone had already written about the Matrix in my course - and it was a really good essay. I haven't even seen the films I don't know why, I guess I have thought they where a bit scary. I am such a chicken when It comes to watching scary movies.

I actually have done an interpretation of U2:s song Pride (in the name of love) But haven't got a reply from my teacher yet.

Thanks again for your effort in helping me.
