Abstract:

The author comments on a new nationwide poll regarding the reception of the film, "The Passion of the Christ." The poll found that a larger number of respondents say the film has made them less likely, rather than more likely, to hold Jews and Jewish institutions in our own time responsible for the
killing of Christ.
