Another review of "The Passion"

An excellent consideration of Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" can be found at WORLD Magazine's web site:WORLD February 28, 2004: "No mere martyr"

Reviewer Andrew Coffin writes: "The best understanding of The Passion is that it is Mel Gibson's very personal expression of a deeply rooted faith, in the best way he knows how: on film. Christ's Passion is a narrative with which Mr. Gibson connected. He felt burdened to tell it, and to tell it in a way that resonated most closely with his own experience.

"However, what Mr. Gibson chooses to accentuate, what he leaves in, what he leaves out - all of these are choices that reflect his artistic sensibility and his personal experience, and are layers on top of the story. It is important to distinguish between this as Mr. Gibson's interpretation of the Gospels and God's Word itself."
