The film - like the very bizarre novel on which it's based - simply tries to give a new and slightly daring turn to the entirely mainstream doctrine that Jesus was in all respects "tempted as we are".Rowan Williams
Jesus was both fully human and fully divine. When Satan tempted Him, the desire to give in was present, but He resisted temptation due to His divine nature. As the Son of God, Jesus understands what it feels like to be tempted, and we can take comfort in knowing that He can relate t...
