Bible and Interpretation site return

It is good to see Bible and Interpretation site's Breaking News section is back again after a short break. One of the stories it links to is Ekklesia's Gibson Film Based More on Mysticism than the Gospels. This is a misleading title since it refers to John Dominic Crossan's claim that The Passion of the Christ is largely based on Anne Catherine Emmerich's work, not on "mysticism", whatever that might mean. The Ekklesia report is picked up from the press release I blogged the other day, a press release that gave prominence to Crossan's chapter in the book.
