Summary: Just when you think you have all the answers...
Review: ...Life just hands you more questions! This helpful discussion guide addresses many of those questions that seemed to come up after having seen the Mel Gibson movie, "The Passion of the Christ". In particular, the discussion on "Who killed Jesus?" is particularly relevant in light of the current controversy over concerns about anti-semitism. The other discussions like, "Why Did Jesus Have to Suffer and Die?" and "What Did the Resurrection Accomplish?" were all extremely thought-provoking. This book DOES give information about what the bible has to say on each issue, but it is not a book that preaches at you, as it is a book that invites relevant discussion. It would be great to use at neighborhood book groups or family gatherings!

Summary: Good Contextualization of Film
Review: This book does a good job of contextualizing the Passion movie. Experiencing the Passion of Jesus explains how the Word of God explains that we should respond to Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. I recommend this book for Christians and non-Christians alike. As an addition to reading this book, I srongly recommend that you read C.J. Mahaney's book, The Cross-Centered Life (ISBN: 1590520459).

Summary: Great little Study Guide.
Review: This booklet; Experiencing The Passion Of Jesus is a great little study guide on the Passion of Jesus Christ. With Mel Gibson's Movie, The Passion of The Chris,t Doing So well, this is a great study guide for all who have seen the movie; and more a great study guide for anyone even if they have not seen the Movie. Its very much a biblical based study and is totally sound. It would be great for non Christians to explain why Christ had to die; for New Christians to gain a better understanding of there religion; and even for mature Christians, to refresh our beliefs, and to be able to express our beliefs to seekers.
