Associate Professor of Religious Studies Steve Humphries-Brooks was interviewed by Agence France Presse for an article titled "Jesus on the Silver Screen," which discussed films made about the life of Jesus. The article was published in the Gold Coast Bulletin (Australia), Mail and Guardian (S. Africa) and Utusan (Malaysia).
The article in Agence France Press said: "Everybody, from De Mille forward, has been made aware that they are going to have a Jewish issue here," said Steve Humphries-Brooks, a religious studies professor at Hamilton College who is writing a book titled The Celluloid Saviour.
"Gibson has voiced some surprise that Jewish groups have gone after him, and that amazes me," said Humphries-Brooks. "I can't believe he hadn't thought about that, unless he's just oblivious to history -- especially film history."
