What You Need To Know About The Passion Of The Christ

About this book

After months of promotion and discussion, Mel Gibson's movie "THe Passtion of the Christ" has finally been released in cinemas all over the world. Never before has a film generated so much debate prior to its release. The Passion promise to provoke further reaction as many people view it. This book contains What You Need to Know About: The Making of the Movie--at first, it sounded like it might just be a quirky art film; a film about Jesus' passion using only the dead languages of Aramaic and Latin without subtitles. But what started out as news of the weird has turned into a powerful and popular film that has already become a major milestone in cinematic history. The Message of the Movie--although liberals have lambasted The Passion and allege that its screening will result in anti-Jewish sentiment, a surprisingly wide assortment of pastors and priests have cheered it. In fact, they have been stockpiling outreach materials to capitalize on its message. The Meaning of the Movie--many have hailed it as "the greatest evangelistic tool in 2000 years." They predict that it will revolutionize religious life in America and impact greatly on many other parts of the world. What does the crucified Christ mean to you? Do you know HIm? Have you ever considered that He died for you? These--and many other--issues are examined in this book. For millions, the film is a must-see; this little book is a must-read.
