Abstract

This paper analyzes three videos available on Youtube site: Jesus Christ! The Musical by Javier Prato (2007), The Greatest Action Story Ever Told, produced by Mad TV (2006) and The Passion of Zombie Jesus, Ira Hunter (2006). The goal is to analyze what kinds of images of Christ are being generated through new narrative practices, aesthetic and media in contemporary life, and it organizes a consistent image of Christ, observing its aim and social validation. Finally, we observed the formation of a theology reflexia, which would be a password to the image of Jesus Christ made possible by Theology traditional "Jesus, the Lamb of God."
