'''''The Last Temptation of Christ''''' is a film released in 1988 based on a novel by the same name.  Adapted from the book of the same name written by Nikos Kazantzakis, the film was directed by [[Martin Scorsese]] and stars Willem Dafoe as [[Jesus]] Christ and Harvey Keitel as [[Judas]] Iscariot.  Emphasizing the aspect of Jesus as human, the film shows him as a bit of a bumbling buffoon whom the Pharisees run circles around.  It also has him make pantheistic statements about God being in all things.  Due to its blasphemous nature, it was heavily protested when it first came out.  The film did not do well at the box office, but has been a favorite of secular [[Hollywood Values|Hollywood]] and is shown relatively often on movie channels.
