Godspell

1. Godspell is its own gospel that preaches to everyone
2. No one gets left behind in Godspell; Jesus’ love is equal for all believers.
3. The film emphasizes individual relationships/friendships with Jesus.
4. Godspell doesn’t portray the resurrection, but the resurrection is still seen in Jesus’ followers. His disciples go back to their normal lives, but they carry Jesus’ spirit within them.
5. The film revived Jesus’ ministry by appealing to the people of the 60s (hippies, countercultural followers, flower children).
6. Godspell appealed to a more spiritual ministry where believers didn’t have to follow strict rituals mentioned in the Old Testament and attend church every Sunday.
7. Like the Old Quest scholars, Godspell takes relevant parts away from Jesus’ ministry to create a portrait of Jesus that fit the time period of the 60s.
