当人民的苦难不断加深之时，上帝将他的儿子耶稣（Enrique Irazoqui 饰）送到人间。受到感召，少女玛丽亚（Margherita Caruso 饰）以处子之身生下耶稣，并与未婚夫约瑟（Marcello Morante 饰）一同将其养大。耶稣如此钟爱世人，他通过各种神迹引导人们诚心向善，他的信徒和追随者越来越多。然而世界已然腐朽，贪婪残暴占据统治地位。那些忘掉廉耻的统治者决定除掉这个来自天堂的圣子…… 　　本片大量起用非职业演员，圣母玛丽亚更是由导演帕索里尼的母亲扮演。影片荣获1965年意大利国家影评人协会最佳摄影、最佳化妆和最佳导演奖；1964年威尼斯电影节OCIC（国际天主教电影事务所）奖和评委会特别奖；1968年芬兰国家电影奖最佳外语片导演奖。

Seven years ago, Pope Francis denounced the "globalization of indifference" in Lampedusa and said that "this system of capitalism kills." The moment Italy criminalizes the rescue of people who are drowning, the Catholic Church returns to its socio-revolutionary roots: what does the Bible really ask of us? What was meant by the radical "no" by the Christian prophet when confronted with the system of Roman imperialism and exploitation? Who would Jesus fight for today - and who would be fighting at his side? In Italy, at the southern edge of the EU, where African refugees are forced into labor as harvesters, where peasants are fighting for survival due to increasing grain imports, Milo Rau creates THE NEW GOSPEL - a hybrid film dealing with the life and death of probably the most influential religious founder in world history. Who are the displaced people, the outcasts, the humiliated ones of today's world order? What is left of Jesus' message of salvation in times of global exploitation?

A modern-day version of the gospels, opening with John the Baptist calling a disparate group of young New Yorkers from their workaday lives to follow and learn from Jesus. They form a roving acting troupe that enacts the parables through song and dance, comedy, and mime. Jesus' ministry ends with a last supper, his Crucifixion in a junkyard, and, the following morning, his body being carried aloft by his apostles back into the world of the living on the streets of New York.
