The God Who Wasn't There (2005)
A groundbreaking documentary!
This movie was simply stunning. Well worth viewing by non-believers and believers alike. Many will criticize it based on the quality of it's scholarship - but these people are completely missing the point. This film is GROUNDBREAKING as the first one to shine the spotlight on a centuries old line of scholarly biblical criticism. It's made by a film-maker, not a scholar, but it's founded on the works of many actual scholars. Critics of the film's scholarship should have the backbone to challenge the scholars, not this film-maker! So many times I have hear biblical literalists hog the popular media bandwidth and pronounce unequivocally that there is no serious scholar who doubts the historicity of Jesus. This is simply false. Bravo to Brian Flemming and Amanda Jackson for ending the one sided conversation about Christianity in the popular media, and starting a true DIALOGUE!
