An investigative journalist and atheist decides to prove that Christ isn’t who he says he is. Based on the book by Lee Strobel. Starring Mike Vogel, Erika Christensen, and Faye Dunaway.
Christian films always struggle with giving a good story while proclaiming the Gospel, and this film is no exception. I did find that this film struggles with giving a basic concept of the Gospel. They have done better than other films, but it’s also lacking in the story. The story is so bland that it’s forgetful. It does give a balance that both sides are not made evil. The film is made for Christians, so it probably won’t change the minds of atheists. I’ve enjoyed Strobel’s books as they give insight to how you can’t debunk the Christian; he asks questions that need answers, and he was able to find it in Christ. So, rather than watch the movie, I suggest picking up one of his books, especially if it’s a question of why anyone would believe in the opposite way. However, this film is still one worth a watch.
