Does anyone know the name of a TV movie that was loosely based on the gospels? It was in the 90's sometime. I remember watching at the time and considered it to be full out blasphemy. I was a Bible-believing fundamentalist Christian at the time.
Jesus was shown talking to Judas Iscariot in private. He sounded like some kind of trickster salesman. Not very biblical. I only remember that small part of it. But it didn't portray Jesus in a very positive light.
This was in the 90's I believe. There was another more popular TV movie that came out around the same time. But this one was very different.
Neither of those. That 1999 version is the popular one I mentioned. And I know that Christian Bale was not the actor. He had lighter hair. I think it was probably earlier in the 90's. (I forgot how late the other one was until now.)
The one I'm thinking of was very weird and unorthodox. Probably more along the lines of Last Temptation of Christ, which I have actually not watched. But lower budget made for TV.
It was probably produced by some kind of atheist group. Now I know that it might not be such an unusual film, but the fact that it was shown on network TV did make it unusual.
Yes, but I already got it: Finding out that it was produced later than I originally thought. It gives me hope for humanity. That was the same year that the Passion of the Christ came out.
Possible. From my twenties, there was a reappraisal of Judas as someone who was more of a trusted agent of Jesus than a betrayer. After all, without the actions of Judas and the Sanhedrin forcing Pilate to kill Jesus, there would have been no salvation.
