William Loader, Professor of New Testament at Murdoch University, Australia, has published his thoughts on The Passion of the Christ
“The Passion of the Christ” and the Passion of Jesus
A Reflection on Mel Gibson’s Film

Like many other critics, Loader speaks of the film's "gratuitous violence" and of "R rated violence designed to give a buzz". I remain puzzled by this kind of reaction to the film and am currently writing a short article explaining why I think the film's violence is not gratuitous and certainly not pornographic.
