Pagels on The Passion
I haven't seen The Passion of the Christ, and I probably will not see it (for a variety of reasons that I'd rather not explain right now). But a friend alerted me to this New Yorker article on the film by David Remnick, who interviews theologian Elaine Pagels, who explains why she reads the film as anti-Semitic. I've read several of Pagels' books, and her arguments about the early history of the church were very important for me. The article is well worth a read.
