Summary: Excellently written and presented book
Review: This book does an outstanding job of answering questions about the movie. It should, and has, presented a truthful explaination of the Passion of The Christ from the garden to the resurection. I have shared it with others who have shared with others. Very well received.

Summary: Get to the Point
Review: This book is awesome!! It goes straight to the point and answers questions directly related to the movie. It explains the "what's" and "whys" in simple english and has scripture references if you want to learn more. It is short and easy to read. A definite must for those who go to the movie. After I read it I shared it with friends---some who still have not seen the movie--(and maybe never will)--but they really liked it because they got the jist of the movie and it's very interesting.

Summary: A great guide to the movie!
Review: This book is excellent! I bought it based on the previous review. As a traditional Catholic, I thought I could handle any symbolism presented in the movie...but I was wrong. The movie if far deeper than I expected. I had a lot of questions, as did my teenage sons who were debating if Jesus was nailed through the palms or wrists. My sons read this book with great interest. It is very readable; in a question and answer "catechism" format. I learned a lot about the movie and the sacrifice of Jesus.The book is unapologetically Catholic. It is written by people intimate with the movie and the mind of the director. The author does an incredible job of separating what is Biblical, what is historical and what is artistic license in the movie. The only criticism is the answer discussing the meeting of Mary and Peter after his denial. The book seems to imply that Roman Catholics can approach Mary to have their sins forgiven. Catholics believe that only God/Jesus can forgive sins. But a sinner, afraid to approach the Almighty Judge might approach Mary for help in being led to Jesus, just as she led St. John to the foot of the cross of redemption. I think I know what the authors were trying to say...I think they could have said it better. Catholics view Mary in the context of her only sermon in the Bible, at the marriage feast of Cana, "Do whatever He says". In future editions, perhaps the authors could also address the symbolism of Mary picking up the soil at the time of the crucifixion.

Summary: The Passion is a Catholic Movie! This Book is excellent
Review: This book is excellent. It has "imprimatur" from the Catholic Bishop of San Diego. The Passion is fundamentally a Catholic movie (see Jim Caviziel's interview on Zenit.org). Hence, this book describes the DEEP Catholic symbolism in the movie I HEARTILY recommend it and also going to the evangelization.com website for the FREE resources that accompany the book. I STRONGLY recommend that people buy lots of copies for their parishes, as well as to give to Protestants who will be more interested in the Catholic faith after seeing the movie

Summary: An awe inspiring book
Review: What a nice pleasant surprise, a nice simple and easy to read book which I read straight through with great interest. The 100 questions which are answered easily fill the intense need to get greater meaning from this incredible movie without relying on stero-typed subjective analysis. Well done Messrs Pinto and Allen for a job well done on explaining the "True Christ" and his only "One True Church", the Catholic Church. I recommend it to anyone who wants a deeper meaning to the movie "The Passion of The Christ"
