A Forum

Sunday, 07 Mar 2004 at 4:00 pm – Great Hall, Memorial Union

Is theThe Passion of the Christ too violent? Anti-Semitic? Biblically inaccurate? Rabbi David Kaufman of Temple B'nai Jeshurun, Religious Studies Professor and Supple Chair of Catholic Studies David Hunter, and Pastor of College Ministries Zeke Pipher at the Ames Evangelical Free Church will discuss the controversary surrounding Mel Gibson's movie. Steve Sullivan, movie reviewer for the Ames Tribune, will moderate the discussion.

Stay for the entire event, including the brief question-and-answer session that follows the formal presentation. Most events run 75 minutes.
