I want to talk
about Jesus.
Chances are that
first sentence alarmed a few of you. On my behalf, whoa, now. Whoa. Those close
to me know I’m the last person to go on some rambling faith-based diatribe, and
likewise know I’m not inclined to go on an anti-religious rant either. So for the
next thousand words or so, let’s lower ourselves back onto our collective
haunches and chill. There’s no better time: today’s Easter Monday and a
holiday. And, given the season, it’s fitting to kick back and examine Martin
Scorsese’s controversial 1988 film, The
Last Temptation of Christ.
