You don't have to look very far to see parallels to his earlier work in The Patriot, Braveheart, The Man Without A Face, or even Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. In addition to financing the project out of his own pocket, Gibson co-authored the screenplay, produced and directed the film version of The Passion of the Christ and wrote the foreword to the companion book.

Gibson's fingerprints are all over this film and an officially licensed companion book from Tyndale House, The Passion: Photography From the Movie The Passion of the Christ. By the end of the film I sat quietly motionless stunned. Stunning in its use of darkness and light. Stunning in its stark, haunting soundtrack. Stunning in its daring use of dead languages and simple subtitles. The Passion of the Christ is a stunning motion picture, in every sense of the word. After viewing Mel Gibson's film The Passion of the Christ I realize how woefully inadequate my words were. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I wanted to make sure my captive audience was exposed to every horror Jesus had endured. I described in detail how they dropped the cross into its foundation hole, heightening Christ's agony. I made sure to pound the pulpit effectively to demonstrate the power of the nails piercing Jesus' flesh. As a brash, young 17-year-old, the first sermon I ever preached was on the crucifixion.
