Small Catechisms

Q: As you were discussing Mary anointing the feet of Jesus with the costly perfume, I kept hearing in my head the music from Jesus Christ Superstar. Have you seen the portrayal of this event in that movie/play? It captures the love and appreciation Mary shows and also the bitterness that Judas feels. Have you heard any criticism of Jesus Christ Superstar in Christian circles? I've heard that some have issues with it, but I love how it captures the emotions that the followers of Jesus may have experienced.
