Now why wouldn't a film featuring an obscure dead language not be popular with the Globe? Perhaps the choice of Aramaic was not the correct dead language. I cannot recall ever hearing Aramaic sound bites on NPR. Perhaps Aramaic isn't on the list...

Excellent!

Really nice writing style, good ideas and a sharp wit. Assuming it was done by a student, he'll be a welcome addition to the punditocracy one of these days if that what he wants to do.

The last paragraph is solid gold.

I am amazed that youth in this nation are rebelling against the forces of fascism, political correctness, and socialist atheism. I am in awe that this is happening.

Passion’s Jesus isn’t a postmodern fuzzy-wuzzy Jesus. Gibson’s Jesus suffered, died, was buried and resurrected, something on which Carroll seems unwilling to reflect. Where’s the multiculturalism, the diversity?

No scenes where Jesus, Mohammad, and Bubba Free John have a rap session, before joining hands and singing “Candle in the Wind.” No scene where Jesus explains to the kiddies that Christianity is only one color of the religious rainbow—pick and choose your faith depending on mood. If the disciple Peter was played by an Asian girl in a wheelchair and had shared a Q&A with special guest Hermes Fireroots, a Wiccan expert on the practical uses of Magick, Carroll would have given two thumbs up. Instead, Christians like Carroll and open- minded professors like Crumbine will struggle to keep the image of Christ in its politically correct form: A pretty cool long-haired guy with some craaazy ideas.
