Query: Repels critical thought.

Loud, quippy, hurried, soundbite-type journalistic expose where a Chicago Tribune writer converts to Christianity. Strobel draws you along toward his conclusion using testimonies of (exclusively) Christian scholars and it-happened-once-so-why-not -type logic, and quick dismissals of his atheistic objections to the Bible. I couldn't watch this. I had just finished watching the excellent "From Jesus to Christ" by PBS. That PBS film interviews the real scholars at the leading edge of New Testament analysis and 1st-century thought: Michael White, Elaine Pagels, Paula Fredricksen. And their narrative asks questions as though they really want answers. If you would rather watch a careless man exuberantly kicking off his atheism like a pair of old slippers, rent this. If you enjoy care, detail, and rigor in your historical analyses, keep looking. Strobel is critically negligent.
