Well acted but overly biased account of turning an atheist into a believer.
Firstly, it’s very hard to independently review this film. Aethiests tell me it’s rubbish, Christians tell me it’s brilliant and no-one else care. So trying to watch it with an open mind was difficult, given my Catholic upbringing.I found it interesting, well acted and thought provoking, but not overly convincing. I haven’t read the book by Strobel but I’d want more detail than he discovers from the film and at times he seems to apply the logic of Faith, rather than reason and doubt, to his findings but the parts seem well cast, Mike Vogel and Erika Christensen are convincing as husband and wife and the supporting cast are solid.
Strobels character in particular is interesting, with his normal investigative journalism running alongside his need to understand his wife’s Faith, which at the time he neither shares nor understands.
It’s watchable, interesting and thought provoking but I don’t feel it will remove either the believers or the atheists from their entrenched positions.
Completely unconvincing.
A lot of Christians like to point to Lee Strobel as a man who was an atheist and when searching for the historicity of Jesus was convinced of his existence and became born again. So even if you’re a hardcore atheist you too can be Christian if you only look at the evidence right? Wrong. You see I have looked at the evidence and I can say with all honesty if Jesus of the bible existed there’s literally no evidence for him.The real issue here is that I doubt Lee Strobel was ever truly an atheist. He might have said he was. He might have even believed it for a while but I would think he had a basis in religion, fell away from it at some point, declared himself an atheist without ever truly disbelieving in God and then fell back into it when his wife converted.
The reasoning given in this movie is shoddy at best and it makes me wonder how good an investigative journalist he actually was. I’re read some of the same sources he claims to have looked into and strangely enough the most I can get to is that maybe there was a guy claiming to be the son of God during that time. But there were hundreds if not thousands in the Middle East around that time that were doing the same exact thing. What made this Jesus guy right and the others wrong?
In the end he choose to believe because he wanted to believe. That’s cool if he made the decision and I’m all for him making that decision. But to then say they he was right in doing so and this somehow proves the existence of God is taking a step too far outside of what could be considered evidence.
Sorry, this is just another movie made by believers for believers.
