Mel Gibson and Jerry Jenkins talked about violence in The Passion of The Christ and the Left Behind series for leftbehind.com This is what actor/director Mel Gibson had to say about violence in The Passion of The Christ:
“I think we’ve gotten too used to seeing pretty crosses on the wall, and we forget what really happened. We know Jesus suffered and died, but we don’t really think about what it all means. Hey, I didn’t realize it either when I was growing up. The full horror of what Jesus suffered for our redemption didn’t really strike me. But when you finally see it and understand what he went through, it makes you feel not only compassion, but also a debt. You want to repay him for the enormity of his sacrifice. You want to love him in return.”
