A sane piece from Slate.com

So I'm surfing Slate this evening and I come across this essay by Steven Waldman about Mel Gibson's upcoming movie, The Passion. And you know what? It's actually a really good discussion of the issue. The author gets a bit into some sketchier views of the authorship and authenticity of the NT in his second main point, but also points out that the Early Church really did have some pretty good reasons to be more than a little frustrated with the Jewish people at the time. All in all, a good, sane, and well thought-out discussion. Give it a look.
