EPISODE

Our Lord has Come

In this episode we talk through Joshua Gunn’s provocative analysis of Mel Gibson’s The Passion of Christ. Gunn’s QJS article, Maranatha utilizes genre criticism to examine how the violence within The Passion can be seen as pornographic. It’s a piece that will get you talking, thinking, and reflecting on the use of rhetoric.
