'Passion' film becomes evangelical outreach tool
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The evangelical community is poised to take full advantage of the high-profile film, "The Passion of the Christ."
According to Baptist Press and The New York Times the film is viewed as an evangelism tool for many Christians.
"I don't know of anything since the Billy Graham crusades that has had the potential of touching so many lives," said Morris H. Chapman, president of the Southern Baptist Convention Executive Committee. "It's like the Lord somehow laid in our lap something that could be a great catalyst for spiritual awakening in this nation."
The film may pique the interest of many who have otherwise given little thought to Christianity. Evangelicals are jumping on the chance to provide answers in various formats. Multiple resources are now using the "Passion" theme, including Web sites, Bible studies, and books.
