I'm sure your interest in "Passions of the Christ" is old hat by now - but its actually based on the book "The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ" - a book written by a 19th century mystic.

I disagree your argument about being based on a book - analogous to Harry Potter - at least insofar as unless you experience something first hand - everything is based on some second hand cultural medium. Ultimately, Christianity is a question of faith - not of empiricism.

I do think the movie itself is a bit misguided. It’s an interesting commentary for me on the conservative movement in the church, and particularly in Catholicism. Not being a particularly astute scholar of the bible myself, I was nevertheless led to believe that the message of the New Testament was about love, hope and resurrection/new beginnings. The conservative obsession with the crucifixion, in that context seems rather irrelevant, or at least ancillary to the point. It’s about as relevant as doing a three-hour movie about the how Jesus learned to tie his shoes.

Thoughts?

Mike
