Study Circle Guide: INSIDE THE PASSION

This Study Circle Guide is especially useful during Lent. It can also be adapted as a small-group activity during a faith-experience like a mission or a non-silent weekend retreat.

The book Inside the Passion is a scene-by-scene analysis of Hollywood’s highest grossing R-rated film of all time, The Passion of the Christ, directed by Mel Gibson. Inside the Passion is the only authorized explanation of the film, written after in-depth interviews with all the filmmakers.

This Study Circle Guide provides guidance for a faithbased reflection on this work of cinematic art. The idea is to go beyond the emotion stirred up by the film, and use the artistic excellence as a springboard for spiritual personal, spiritual renewal.
