Overview

The 1920s were characterized by the success of three very popular fictional works on Jesus--La storia di Cristo (1921 Papini), novel; The King of Kings (1927 DeMille), film, and Jesus, the Son of Man (1928 Gibran), poetry. There was now a global market that included authors of different countries, serving an international audience. Among scholarly works, the most significant contribution was that offered by Klausner. His Life of Jesus, written from the perspective of an observant Jew, was the first consistent attempt to reclaim Jesus from the perspective of the Jewish orthodox tradition.
