	Media	Author	Review
		Time Out	"Despite being churlishly described at the time as 'I Was a Teenage Jesus', this is one of the most interesting screen versions of the Gospels"
		Variety Staff Variety	"Nicholas Ray has brooded long and wisely upon the meaning of his meanings, has planted plenty of symbols along the path, yet avoided the banalities of religious calendar art."
		Bosley Crowther The New York Times	"[An] impersonal film that constructs a great deal of random action around Jesus and does very little to construct a living personality for Him"
		Glenn Heath Jr. Slant	"The film is an extreme test of one’s patience, a sluggish modernist power point presentation on the glorious influence of Jesus’s greatest hits."
