It seems the contoversy stems around the supposed emphasis it puts on the fact that the jews were responsible for his crucifixion. I take it that they are worried about the backlash or anti semitic feelings this could create. I myself find that I get very angry with the fact that the people could have allowed Jesus to be crucified in spite of his teachings and the miracles he performed. But then I come back to the reality that this was part of his master plan and like you I am overawed that he would go to this extreme in order to save us. It is this depth of love that we cannot help but feel as christians when the spirit comes among us. Sivin I have been reading about the passion with interest so am happy to se this post.
