In Search of Historic Jesus is a 1979 American documentary film based on Lee Roddy and Charles E. Sellier Jr.'s book of the same name. Released by Sunn Classic Pictures, the film speculates on the historical accuracy of the biblical depiction of Jesus.

Production notes

In Search of Historic Jesus was produced by Sunn Classic Pictures, a Utah-based independent film company that specialized in releasing low-budget family films and documentaries. Along with such features as In Search of Noah's Ark (1976) and Beyond and Back (1978), the film was one of a series of releases from the company that attempted to present convincing scientific evidence for Christian theology.[3]

Parts of the film were shot in Heber, Provo, and Park City in Utah.[4]

Reception

Although In Search of Historic Jesus was a massive commercial success, the picture met with some negative critical reviews. According to movie historian Leonard Maltin, who declared the film a "BOMB" (his lowest possible rating), "This drivel should have been titled In Search of Morons Who Will Believe Anything."[5]

Produced on a low budget, the movie earned over $22.4 million at the North American box office[1][6] and was the 34th highest-grossing film of 1979.[7]
