The Passion narrative is the core and heart of Christianity. Whenever Christians debate with non-Christians, the suffering and death on the cross takes central place. The recent popular film, The Passion of the Christ, provoked various emotions. While some were alarmed by the violence, others were moved by genuine religious experience. The topics dominating scholarly reviews and general discussion are the supposed exaggeration of the importance of the Cross in Christianity and the perceived anti-Semitic tone of the Gospel accounts. In this book, these two themes are discussed.
