The Passion Story by Marcia Kupfer
This anthology provides a unique, multifaceted overview of a subject of enduring importance in today's religiously pluralistic societies. The essays collected here, written by scholars with an eye toward the average reader, broadly survey the dramatization of the Passion and consider the significance of this focus for both Christians and Jews.“Marcia Kupfer has assembled an impressive group of world-class scholars, writing across the spectrum of media, periods, and methodologiesThis 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
“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
