Reviews

After reading this powerful collection of essays that so admirably capture one side of the Passion narrative--its images and resulting horror--the reviewer can only hope for a future collection generated by this one that seeks to explore the positive spirituality generated by the Passion and its depiction. --Daniel F. Callahan, Church History Marcia Kupfer has assembled an impressive group of world-class scholars, writing across the spectrum of media, periods, and methodologies. This very readable collection of essays offers a rich investigation of a perpetually timely topic. The essays on film, in particular, break new ground. --Peter Decherney, University of Pennsylvania
