of the film and the gospels‚ the persona of Jesus shown can be described as completely original. Instead of focusing on his divinity like in Luke or his miracles in Mark‚ this film explored the more human side of Jesus of Nazareth‚ who faced many of the same struggles every human does while on Earth. In modern Christianity‚ Jesus is often portrayed as someone who stands apart from and above humanity. “The Last Temptation of Christ” instead entrenches Jesus within humanity.

God is very serious that we must be devoted in asking
