By doing so, he leaves out most of the elements of the Jesus story familiar to Christians and consequently he adds non-biblical gruesome details foreign to the Gospels. \u003ci\u003eMel Gibson's Passion: The Film, the Controversy, and Its Implications\u003c\/i\u003e exposes the flaws of Gibson's cinematic Christ and lays out assertively and persuasively the rationale of Jews and Christians in how to grasp and comprehend the passion and execution of the Christian savior known scripturally as the \"King of the Jews.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Zev Garber\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1557534055\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781557534057\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Purdue University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/14\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 5.98w x 0.54d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2006 pg. 313","brand":"Zev Garber","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44068598579455,"sku":"9781557534057","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a2fcf9fe-13a1-4ce7-b32e-02a5930f8a48.jpg?v=1685419936","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mel-gibsons-passion-zev-garber-9781557534057","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
