4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Jan 24 2012
By Fulano De Tal
Format:DVD
I liked how the biographical section and the conversation panel where intertwined together. Very high production value overall.
Other than that, I would only wish the converstaion among the speakers was available in full on a separate part of the dvd.
Pretty happy with this video. The disscusion between theists and non-theists is something I dont find enough of, so this video is quite valuable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, sad... yet most importantly: thought-provoking Nov 18 2004
By Samuel Ross - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This PBS presentation beautifully lays out contrasting views (theism/atheism)... yet somehow never comes off as advocating either one; letting the viewer decide. As much as I love Freud and also warm up to such deep-thinkers as C.S. Lewis... it was the periodic "roundtable" discussion sessions moderated by Dr. Armand Nicholi that blew me away. I found myself pausing this DVD over and over again as I wrote down my own thoughts and, yes, my own spontaneous revelations. It's that sort of program. It makes you want to grab a notebook and a pencil.

I won't tell you which way I lean (Freud? Lewis?)... but I will say BUY THIS! SEE IT! It is quite possibly one of the only sources giving equal time to both sides of this age-old issue. If nothing else, you'll be fascinated at the eruption of thoughts/realizations that you-the viewer will most-certainly experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Seriously considering buying this... Sep 23 2004
By WolfPup - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
I watched this on PBS the past two weeks. It's 4 hours total, and shows the personal history of these two men (complete with some well done reenactment) and how they came to their beliefs interspersed with a panel of people with different beliefs (believers and nonbelievers) talking about a lot of the basic issues with religion and Christianity. The panel includes a Dr. from Harvard, the editor of Skeptic magazine, and some other really interesting people.

As is to be expected (hey, it's PBS :) The Question of God is very well done. Extremely fascinating, and it makes you think. I was so impressed by it that I'm seriously considering buying it. I'm also going to read C.S. Lewis' Mere Christianity.

5.0 out of 5 stars A balanced presentation that either side will enjoy. Jan 15 2006
By Michael Huskey - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I expected this video to lean noticeably to either a pro evolution or pro theistic viewpoint. The editors have done an excellent job at presenting both sides fairly. It was very helpful to see the story of Freud and Lewis' childhood and early adulthood. This is an important video for anyone interested in the current debate.

I was especially pleased with the roundtable discussions of a focus group. It is a delight to see unscripted opinions being expressed in a non confrontative format. The panel is also well balanced, with no shills on either side. This has become my favorite Nova presentation and I highly recommend it to just about anyone interested in a well rounded education.
