在有限的耶穌傳記電影當中，女性扮演著何種角色？作為一種影像符碼，她是如何受到使用？利用女性主義觀影解讀方式，可以提供我們研究耶穌傳記影片何種發現？論文首先簡短回顧耶穌傳記電影之發展、界定影片選取範圍及標準、再對照檢視個別影片呈現女性之策略異同、並針對這這些異同提出詮釋、詮釋方向包括：以耶穌傳記影片為核心之宗教題材影片呈現女性角色之策略，尤其是將眾多女性（women）化約為單一女性（Woman）之現象；以及從影片中對女性的凝視到對以陰柔形象處理的耶穌角色之凝視行為（gaze）中可資討論的不同層次觀看主體慾望之潛抑及流動。
How are the female characters treated in the various films that depict the life of Jesus Christ? As a visual sign in these films, how is She represented and gazed? How can Laura Mulvey's insight into gaze and the visual pleasure of films help us decipher the various levels of floating and suppressed desires of the gazing subject? In this paper, I shall briefly survey the development of Jesus films, distinguish between Jesus films to select for further observations.
Then, I shall proceed to examine the different strategies directors used to present their female characters in these selected Jesus films, and try to interpret such differences, with a focus on discussing why women are simplified as Woman, and how it could be possible that the visual pleasure in gazing the female shifts onto gazing a feminine Jesus figure.
