Overview

Record-setting ticket sales, heated controversy, sold-out viewings for church groups, and feuding critics. The Passion of the Christ is still going strong. Re-Viewing the Passion is the first collection that takes Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ as a focal point. Just in time for the DVD release, Re-Viewing the Passion will help all of us make sense of this blockbuster movie by offering a variety of perspectives on its significance. Thirteen contributors in diverse fields - biblical studies, Jewish studies, media studies, art history, and Christian theology - and from differing religious orientations - Jewish, Protestant, Catholic - contribute short and reader-friendly essays that explore the theological ideas, iconography, audience reception and historical and biblical accuracy of the film.
