The Question of God

Apparently PBS is showing a film called, "The Question of God." I hope to watch this myself! Chuck Colson saw it, and is encouraging people to give it a go.

It’s hard to imagine two institutions less associated with a classical Christian worldview than Harvard  University and the Public Broadcasting System. That’s why it comes as a pleasant surprise that, starting September 15, the two will come together to give Christianity a chance to make its case against the secular alternative.

The two-part series, airing September 15 and 22, is called “The Question of God.” It’s based on the book by my good friend Dr. Armand Nicholi, a professor at Harvard Medical School and editor of the Harvard Guide to Psychiatry.

I have always been confident that when the Christian worldview is presented fairly, an open-minded person will see that it does answer life’s most important questions better than any alternative. Any alternative, in fact, is irrational.

So, please, I encourage you: Watch “The Question of God” on PBS and get your friends and neighbors to do the same thing. And then start a discussion. Then you should write or e-mail PBS and thank them for putting the program on. There’s a good chance they will rerun a special like this, and the more people who see it the better.
