	Mel Gibson's Passion Play
		The Passion in the Gospels reflects the liturgical practice of Christians during the first century, who recollected Jesus’ suffering during Lent when they prepared new believers for baptism and committed themselves afresh to walk in the footsteps of Christ.

		And as in the case of any passion play, the artistry consists in what is invented, not in fidelity to the Gospels, and history is beside the point.

	Ground and Sky review - Jethro Tull - A Passion Play
		Back to the main play and Ronnie Pilgrim is taken to heaven, which he dislikes, so then he goes to hell, which he also dislikes.
		The play is like The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway in style, but I personally find it to be more rewarding and a little less self indulgent, bespectacled hare and all.
		If anything, the integration of the music with these lyrics is played a little too close to the vest: more variation in texture and tempo (especially in the first half of the album) would better dramatize the narrative.

	Recommended Changes in the Oberammergau Passion Play after 1984
		The critiques leveled at the text of the play by friendly voices from across the sea are not those of Christians whose sole concern is the sensitivities of Jews.
		Hence, these words should be cut from the Passion Play text, for the Play does not purport to be a verbatim quotation of the gospels (though the gospels should not be contradicted by the Play text).
		Consequently, the play does well to present scenes intended to excite the viewers' sympathy for the suffering just one (for that is what the evangelists did); but it needs to be very careful about the theology of redemption it supplies from a later time.

	JETHRO TULL A Passion Play reviews and MP3
		Structurally, "A Passion Play" is less cohesive than its predecessor; "Thick" featured half a dozen or so themes played out several times throughout the course of the album, whereas Passion re-uses only a handful of themes and seems to consist of at least a dozen distinctive sections.
		On A Passion Play there is an interval song, The Story Of The Hare Who Lost His Spectacles, and the bridge occurs in the middle of the story, during a natural pause after the main characters have been introduced.
		For the full 'Passion Play Sessions', of course, you need to have War Child too, since Skating Away On The Thin Ice Of The New Day and Bungle In The Jungle were also recorded at the 'Chateaux D'Isaster', along with Solitaire, which appears in its original form on Nightcap.
