Mel Gibson's stunning film The Passion of the Christ has touched thousand of hearts since its release. Yet, despite its visual and emotional impact, the dramatic events portrayed do not explain themselves; they often give rise to perplexing questions. This short book helps you delve a little deeper into some of the movie's profound riches--the passion of Christ.

One of the best books of apologetics I have read. Shea is concise and his argument water-tight. His three examples of how Protestants accept Catholic tradition should be committed to memory by any Catholic who has ever had to face inquisitors on this subject. My favorite: the tradition of the table of contents. Most non-Catholic denominations center themselves on the Bible alone. While they may have removed books from the Old Testament, all agree on the 27 books in the New Testament. As Shea asks, by what authority do they accept these 27 books? Of course, it was the Catholic Church that codified the Bible. So, if Protestants argue against the position that the Catholic Church is the one, true church of Christ, led by Peter as ordained by Jesus, then why do they not challenge the makeup of the New Testament? There were plenty of other gospels and epistles written that could have been included, yet the Catholic 27 are what they stick with.

This is just one example. The book is fantastic. Catholics and Protestants should read, reflect, and discuss this.
