The Passion of the Christ: How To Make Up Your Own Gospel Story & Blame The Jews In The Process For How The Story Ends

The re-release of Mel Gisbon’s interpretative film on the death of Jesus is out in theatres this week.

The National Council of Churches USA has information on their web site that will help viewers of the film and churches assess the theological message Gibson has been working to spread.
