Description:
The famous public intellectual Cornell West shares his thoughts on the famous movie The Passion. The Passion is about the last days of Jesus. Cornel West makes a distinction between what he calls the Constantinian Christianity and the Prophetic Christianity. Constantinian Christianity is the state ideology of the empire. It serves the purposes of the empire. On the other hand Prophetic Christianity is the movement against the oppression of the empire. Whatever that empire may be - of the past and the present. Cornel West criticizes the movie - The Passion - for missing this crucial aspect of Jesus mission.
