 Learning about other faiths March 14, 2006

We used the video in our women's bible study. It was very informative. The discussion after viewing it was lively and open.
Amazing documentary in every sense December 24, 2006

This is by far the best documentary I have ever seen on coexistence and conflict in general. Authoritative speakers serve as both examples to follow and informative, rigorous, well-reasoned thinkers on the subject at hand. No ignorant, hateful extremist nut-jobs (from the left or the right or wherever) were allowed any air of authority in this film.
Overall, the film itself is a case-study in effective, polemical documentary film-making without ever risking the slippery slide down into propaganda (that is to say, a devious attempt to "sneak" important things past the viewers without us noticing).
It can get emotional at times without ever feeling forced or contrived--it's just the well-reasoned and yet emotional forcefulness of the subject and often the delivery, and it's implications for global peace.
The film, however, is long (2 hrs) and probably will try most everyone's attention span. I recommend watching a bit, taking a break for however long, and coming back to finish it up. There aren't really any "throwaway" parts or bits to skip over--it's all good!
Relevant for studies in comparative and developmental religion, diversity, conflict and peace studies, etc.
 Very helpful, but some caution is advisable January 1, 2007

I enjoyed this very much, and recommend that everyone see it. There were some important issues which received little mention if at all. This film tries to persue the laudable goal of how different faiths should approach one another in peace, however in order to do so, some key tenants of faith were abandoned. One of the theologins rightly mentioned that the key issue was "who is Jesus?" For the Jews and the Muslims to admit that Jesus was only a prophet is no stretch at all, but for the Christian, it is an abandonment of their faith. It is interesting that the only ones it seems who have to give up anything were the Christians. I wonder how the other faiths would have reacted if they would have been required to renounce one of the key tennants of their faith in the same way??? It was also interesting to see an Imam lead a group of children in an apparently christian church, through the conversion ritual to Islam, where all that is required to be a convert is to say "There is no god (Allah) but god (Allah) and Mohammed is his prophet." I wonder how it would have gone over, if a christian minister had gone into a Jewish or Muslim community, and asked them if they wanted to be baptised? The God of Abraham Issac and Jacob invites us to "come let us reason together..." and to the extent this film promotes that I applaud it, however a bit more candor in certain areas will be necessary in order for this dialogue to be more than a superficial sham...
