The problem with all books, films, and arguments in person that make the kind of points this film makes is that they assume from the outset that the New Testament is historical information given to us by God so that anything they might cite in it must be true. The problem with that is that the claims that the Bible is the Word of God,, has no inconsistencies or contradictions, and should be read literally are all humans claims about the Bible, not biblical claims. So, if it says that 500 or 5000 people witnessed the Risen Christ, that is part of the story but it's not necessarily true. Another assumption in the background throughout the film is that if God's existence could be proved then salvation through Christ must be true and if one can be transformed through belief in Christ, then it's all a gift of grace from the Christian or biblical God. But there are many proclaimed paths to God and because something works to make you feel less guilty or better in some other ways does not mean it is true much less the only way. It could just be a tool we use on ourselves.
... View MoreVery good movie to get you thinking about it. But then again there will never be enough evidence to STOP thinking. So many questions always remain unanswered. Just a God intended it to be? My mind can definitely come up with more questions than the reporter.So why try to make a 'scientific Jesus did die and resurrect' movie. Does there really need to be a miracle for God to be real. Other religions seem to do just fine without miracles. And have had to kill less people to keep their 'doctrine'. Just remember that Jesus time was a time of Polytheism, so people already believed in gods. So something really special needed to be pulled to convince people that this one was the only and the real deal.Apart from doctrine give this movie a 7. Good shots, emotionally loaded, suspense...

... View MoreWhat I appreciated most about this movie is the fact that this is a true story of Strobel's life & journey. Strobel tells his own story honestly. He didn't want to believe. He didn't want to look at the evidence. I appreciated that Strobel didn't hold back from sharing his true personal struggles. There are many who don't like the movie because it doesn't tell the story that they want to hear. But it tells a true and honest story - both regarding Strobel's life and regarding the historical evidences for Jesus' death and resurrection.
