... that a pornographic script about Jesus led to condemnations by a pope and a queen, a firebombing, and the writer's ban from the UK—and spawned a hoax that led thousands per week to demand the ban of a non-existent gay Jesus film? Source: Pope, queen, bombing, and ban from UK all in Dean 1980. That it was specifically a firebombing is in Rorich 1973. Connection to hoax and "thousands per week" both in Simbro 1984.

- Comment: I'm a few hours past 7 days on Gay Jesus film hoax. I was hoping to get in under the wire, but I didn't realize just how much there would be to write about The Many Faces of Jesus. I beg the reviewer's mercy. Noting that the WP:DYKCNN script flags this hook as over the character count, but it fails to account for the WP:DYKMOS rule "only text in the the first boldlink counts toward the limit". With that accounted for, this is precisely ~~200~~ 199 characters of prose, which is the shortest I could get it for such a wild and sprawling story. QPQs ~~koming shortly~~ done 02:54, 4 December 2023 (UTC). Revised slightly (net -1 char.) for more accurate summary of Jesus' depiction in The Many Faces 20:13, 10 December 2023 (UTC).

Created by Tamzin (talk). Self-nominated at 08:14, 3 December 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/The Many Faces of Jesus; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

This is wonderful. I confer my mercy upon you; the articles are new enough. QPQs are done, hook's certainly interesting, articles are seaworthy. Earwig's happy - couldn't see any copyvios. Thank you for the excellent nomination! Frzzl talk; contribs 18:21, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
