Man of Nazareth a Novel

Rating:
Summary: The utterly REAL "Passion of the Christ"
Review: This book came out 20 years before Melvin Gibson's cinematic spectacle, this in-depth literary examination of the life and death of Jesus -- and, as is the case with all book-vs-film portrayals, the book wins. For you snuff fans, Man of Nazareth is every bit as gory as Melvin's film, going into painful detail about the Roman method of execution in those days. And, its flashbacks are more powerful and thoughtful, for those seeking expansion of the biblical accounts.

Problem is, this is a mere book -- it's not a Melvin Gibson movie. That's why it won't achieve anything near the circulation this new film will enjoy. More's the pity.
