If you haven’t seen “God is not dead” you ought to go. This film is an important dramatization of something that is playing out all too often in today’s College classrooms. Namely the attempted suppression of Christianity by academia. The reality and seriousness of this issue is shown very clearly at the end of the film where they scroll through an alarmingly large number of real courtroom cases on this very point.
I was very glad to see the film cite the work of John Lennox, one of today’s most underrated scholars John Lennox is a scientist with unimpeachable credentials who routinely defeats atheists in debates about the scientific plausibility of the existence of God. You’ve probably never heard of him because he’s not politically correct like Richard Dawkins.
If I have a complaint about this film, it’s that it tries to do too much. But there is just no way you can fit this debate into a movie, so naturally they brush over some things that really should be explored in depth. My advice, go see the film, get a feel for the debate and then follow up with some serious reading. John Lennox would be a good place to start.
