This album presents a variety of responses to the Passion of Jesus Christ. Some texts see the redemption of mankind from an Old Testament prophetic viewpoint, while others are inspired directly by the events and images of the Passion.
The text of the Salvator Mundi draws these different approaches together around the central theme of forgiveness and salvation.
