Bloodcurdling.

Most people no longer remember this, but until about 40 years ago, Christians (both Catholic and Protestant) read books and articles detailing Christ's final sufferings. There was one named something like "A Doctor Looks at the Cross," if I recall correctly, and people like Fulton J. Sheen always mentioned these details.

Strange how in the space of 40 years we have wiped out almost all memory of this, and are shocked and irritated when a mere movie maker dares to remind us of the horrifying reality that our theologians have forgotten.

After seeing the 'Passion' I can't read Isaiah ch.53 without choking up.

That's interesting. I didn't know that the study of the physical aspects of Christ's atonement had fallen off so dramatically in other Christian denominations.

I know I haven't studied it much. And after seeing "The Passion" today, I can say I had NO IDEA how much our Lord and Savior went through for us.
