PREFACE TO THE PASSION

A new book has just been released by Alba House called The Theology of The Passion of the Christ. What sets this book apart from the other 72 books about the movie is that this one has a preface written by, well, moi. (I always revert to Miss Piggy when I'm feeling impressed with myself...)

The book was writter by Dr. Monica Miller and is a thorough and serious consideration of the movie's theology. I found this book refreshing to read because it discusses the theological and Scriptural roots of many of the creative decisions Mel made in his film. It's about time some one stopped hurling accusations and took the film seriously as a work of sacred art and hence, a "source of theology." (Ref. JPII, Letter to Artists)
