Yeah.
Never saw the Passion . 10 years of Catholic parochial school gave me pretty much all the data.
The Book is always better than the movie......................
We watch it every year during Holy Week.
It adds a huge amount to my understanding of His Passion and Death.
(16 years of Catholic education here).
Try it at least once. I put off watching it for years because I, believing the media, thought it would be a non-stop gore fest.
It's not like that at all. I was surprised by how absorbing it is. Yes it's bloody, but it's also accurate.
Jesus is the Word and reading the Word is more important than any movie, of course. But there's something important about seeing the Word too.
