Is The Book of Clarence Based on the Bible?
Written and directed by Jeymes Samuel, The Book of Clarence is a religious comedy that opened to the masses on Jan. 12, 2024. The story follows Clarence (LaKeith Stanfield), a sinful huckster living in A.D. 33 Jerusalem among Jesus Christ and his disciples. To rid himself of mounting debt, Clarence pretends to be the new Messiah sent directly from God and begins manipulating those around him for his own gain and glory. During his quest, Clarence adopts moral tenets and learns to be more benevolent.
