Here is an excerpt from an article I read about the film: Second Commandment? Some Protestants insist that any visual representation of Christ, be it pictorial or dramatic, is a violation of the second commandment prohibiting graven images. I fully realize that there is considerable difference of opinion (fervently held) among people who are committed to the abiding validity of the Law of God regarding this issue, and I cannot enter extensively into that discussion here. For my purposes it is sufficient to note that any understanding of the second commandment must do justice to the fact of the incarnation of God in the Person of Jesus of Nazareth. Moses’ statement in Deuteronomy 4:15, offered as the ground of the second commandment, “you saw no form of any kind the day the LORD spoke to you at Horeb out of the fire. Therefore watch yourselves very carefully," can no longer be said of the incarnate God. It is true, we have no physical "portraiture" of Christ (and any such attempts must be acknowledged as imaginative), but that Jesus can be portrayed dramatically as a human being in historical situations does not seem counter to the concerns of the second commandment. As Greg L. Bahnsen reminded us, we dare not allow our interpretation of the second commandment to lead us into a docetic diminution of the reality of the incarnation.2 The Passion of the Christ is a narrative depiction of Christ’s humanity and His fulfillment of His mission as "the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world" (John 1:29), not an iconic representation of His divinity to worship.3 The whole article can be found here: http://tinyurl.com/2a4emI would like to know what those here think. I do find it amazing though that so many in the "Reformed" camp are giving this movie such high marks. God bless
