<span style="font-weight: bold;">Information</span><!--bold-->
------------------------------

<span style="font-weight: bold;">From exposing the hidden history of Christianity to lampooning the bloody excesses of Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ (which caused Gibson to attempt legal action against the documentary), The God Who Wasn't There pulls no punches.

"irreverently lays out the case that Jesus Christ never existed."</span><!--bold-->

In this critically acclaimed film, you will discover:
<span style="font-weight: bold;">*</span><!--bold--> The early founders of Christianity seem wholly unaware of the idea of a human Jesus
<span style="font-weight: bold;">*</span><!--bold--> The Jesus of the Gospels bears a striking resemblance to other ancient heroes and the figureheads of pagan savior cults
<span style="font-weight: bold;">*</span><!--bold--> Contemporary Christians are largely ignorant of the origins of their religion
<span style="font-weight: bold;">*</span><!--bold--> Fundamentalism is as strong today as it ever has been, with an alarming 44% of Americans believing that Jesus will return to earth in their lifetimes

Directed by award-winning filmmaker (and former Christian) Brian Flemming, The God Who Wasn't There includes stimulating interviews with:
<span style="font-weight: bold;">*</span><!--bold--> Sam Harris, author of The End of Faith and Letter to a Christian Nation
<span style="font-weight: bold;">*</span><!--bold--> Robert M. Price, Jesus Seminar fellow and author of The Incredible Shrinking Son of Man
<span style="font-weight: bold;">*</span><!--bold--> Alan Dundes, Professor of Folklore at the University of California at Berkeley
<span style="font-weight: bold;">*</span><!--bold--> Richard Carrier, historian and author of Sense and Goodness Without God
<span style="font-weight: bold;">*</span><!--bold--> Barbara & David P. Mikkelson, authors of the Urban Legends Reference Pages at snopes.com
<span style="font-weight: bold;">*</span><!--bold--> And many others

Dazzling motion graphics and a driving soundtrack propel this uncompromising film that the Los Angeles Times calls "provocative - to put it mildly."

Special Features</span><!--bold-->

The special features on this DVD are both generous and carefully selected. As DVD Talk puts it: "This DVD delivers the film in a quality presentation, with extras that quadruple the amount of content in a positive way with no filler."

The superb commentary tracks on this DVD are not the usual "making of" chat but instead consist of original material that director Brian Flemming crafted to deepen the experience of The God Who Wasn't There. The two separate tracks are:
<span style="font-weight: bold;">*</span><!--bold--> "The Atheists." This lively track features evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins (The God Delusion). Topics discussed by this towering atheist figure range from the horrors committed in the name of God to the power of science to combat "religion and all other forms of superstition." Relevant audio from other interviewees is also woven into this timely and candid examination of irrational beliefs.
<span style="font-weight: bold;">*</span><!--bold--> "The Scholar." This track delves deep into the Jesus Myth hypothesis with pioneering scholar Earl Doherty (The Jesus Puzzle). If you are intrigued by the possibility that Jesus Christ did not exist at all, you will find this audio track fascinating. Doherty has been studying for decades the evidence that mainstream academics are only beginning to discover. Prepare to be astounded.

The DVD also includes more than one hour of additional interviews on video. These illuminating extended clips did not make it into the fast-paced main feature, but many viewers nonetheless highlight them as a favorite part of the DVD.
