Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ is one of the most polarizing movies of the last 20 years.
Critics hate it. Fans love it.
Who knew graphically portraying the most beloved character from history being brutally torn apart would cause controversy?
Could a splatter film really be the most moving of all Christian films?
This week, author and editor Noah J. Matthews breaks down why this–of all films–so powerful as a piece of Kingdom media.
