Documentation June 18, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The truth is presented so anyone can understand it! It's just too short. Buy the book too!
search for truth? April 6, 2008 1 out of 8 found this review helpful
I didn't find this documentary a riveting search for truth at all. It seemed obvious that the whole point of the 'investigation' was to end up with him converted and to make money off of it by releasing it as 'a case FOR christ'. If that marketing angle alone didn't turn me off then I would say it's more a movie about a guy who wanted his family to stay together and thrive so much that he convinced HIMSELF that all this Jesus stuff was true. He certainly didn't do anything to make me feel more convinced.
wonferful book March 31, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Lee Strobel has done it again. A wondeful book, well documented and written for easy reading. You will enjoy this book......
A brief visual preview of the book March 22, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This movie is good to share with friends and family but only reveals part of what you get out of the book. If you haven't read the book, I highly recommend you get that. Much more detail in the book. Doesn't mean not to get the video. I think this video is more of a teaser for the book.
A Great Introduction to Christian Apologetics March 16, 2008 12 out of 13 found this review helpful
Lee Strobel has done the Christian community-and indeed, the world, a service with this DVD. I was extremely impressed with both the content and the production values. The video is a great introduction to Christian apologetics both for the ordinary "man or woman in the pew" and the "ordinary skeptic."
To claims that the film is biased, of course it is. It's an apologetic documentary after all. But it is nevertheless a fairly balanced overview, or summary, of the evidence for the truth claims of the NT. This documentary isn't any more biased than the TV documentaries that usually air on the cable channels (A&E, THC, DSV, TLC, etc.) at Christmas and Easter which are typically aimed at a popular audience and biased against the truth claims of the NT and which usually cater to the sensational and bizarre. Strobel's DVD should serve as a nice counterpoint to all the popular sensationalist documentaries out there. True, the film doesn't get too technical, however perhaps it really doesn't need to? Anyone interested in delving deeper can check out the books listed in the bibliography, many of them written by the very scholars interviewed in the film.
Also interesting are the special features video interviews with many of the scholars interviewed in the film giving personal testimonials about how their work as scholars has increased their faith.
I think every church would benefit by screening this DVD for its members.
