It's a much better view on the big screen, IMO.
You are invited to a last-minute exclusive lecture in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with Fr. John Bartunek, author of “Inside The Passion”, the first and only authorized, behind-the-scenes look at “The Passion of the Christ”. Fr. John Bartunek, L.C., provides biblical, historical, and theological insights gleaned from hours spent on the set and interviews with director Mel Gibson, actors, and filmmaking crew. “Inside the Passion” is the most complete and thorough commentary on the movie you will read. The book also contains a foreword by director Mel Gibson.
“For weeks I accompanied Mel Gibson, watching him work with the editors, the composer, the promotions team, and the press. I asked him questions about the film that no one else asked, discovering reasons behind some of the innumerable artistic choices that he was forced to make, choices that turned this small art house project into an international blockbuster.” - Fr. John Bartunek
Like any great work of art, this film transcends mere explanations--even those of the artist himself--but well-chosen explanations of the context and the artist’s intent provided by Fr. Bartunek effectively turn this emotionally-stimulating, aesthetic experience into a powerful spiritual encounter.
This is the only scheduled lecture and book signing by Fr. John Bartunek in the United States. Seating is limited to only 80 people. RESERVED SEATING ONLY. To reserve a seat, contact us as soon as possible at (215) 877-9910.
“The Passion of Christ” will be re-released in theaters this Lent. If you have seen the film or plan to see it, this is a great opportunity to delve into the depths of the film with an insider and ask the questions you always wanted to ask.
