The story of Jesus is referred to as the greatest story ever told, but the story of “Jesus” is pretty interesting, too. It’s a mediocre biopic that primarily relies on the Gospel of Luke, a story you already know or can look up without me explaining it to you. What’s interesting is that it was produced by evangelists and released by Warner Bros. in 1979 and was originally a box office flop. But it keeps being re-edited and re-released by different evangelical groups. I saw a shortened, “9-11 Remembrance Edition,” featuring an intro by New York City firefighters. Go figure.
