Esquire, August 1970
“In his prerelease screenings, Mr. Gibson invited mostly conservative evangelical clergy. They in turn responded by reserving huge blocks of movie tickets for their congregations. When the film opens today, expect theaters around the country to be turned into temporary churches.”
– Kenneth L. Woodward, Do You Recognize This Jesus?, The New York Times, Feb. 25, 2004
