This is one of the best Christian movies that I have seen with regards to a passion of mine. The usefulness of Christian Apologetics. It treats the role of Christian Apologetics with honour, dignity and seriousness. It is, as Ravi Zacharias would emphasize, apologetics with a touch. It is sensitive, it is not overly cerebral except perhaps in its cosmological foray into reconciling "the Big Bang" with the Genesis account. In that scene it got somewhat rushed and a little artificial but the rest is very good.
It is a sensitive struggle of a young man and his acquaintance with a young Christian woman who was solidly grounded in the faith. I don't wish to add any other spoilers, but in the following clip I have added some subtitles to it, to emphasize the moral relativism and absolutizing of tolerance that I think the director did such a great job portraying. I also took the liberty of adding at the end of this clip, some thoughtful comment I found on a website devoted to philosophy and the art of critical thinking. The usefulness of being able to spot logical fallacies.
Every Christian should be totally aware of what is going on here. After watching a few times I also became aware of some nuances in the script that went over the top of my head at first. In the scene where Kerry's dad speaks with the Professor observe the subtle "appeal to authority" as she introduces herself as "Professor Myra Allen"- to which her dad eventually responds in kind, asking her to respect his own credentials as "Reverend..."
