A study on the collision of faith and culture.

Marjorie Baumgarten

Austin Chronicle

Although it's somewhat messy in its organization and execution, Lord, Save Us From Your Followers is a great example of the modern essay film in action.

Rated: 2.5/4

While it might be tempting to assume that Merchant would come down hard on the non-Christians, the opposite actually happens.

Rated: 3.5/4.0

An extraordinarily-insightful endeavor urging Evangelicals to examine their own morality in relation to Jesus' words instead of conveniently pointing fingers at folks they've long since dismissed as heathens.

Rated: 4/4

Takes a while to really get going, but the 2nd half is so profound and thought provoking that you can't help but walk away with some perspective on our world. The 'Confessional Booth' was a piece of genius that really touched me.

A deeply thought provoking look at the religious divide in the United States. My favorite part was the confession booth. Whichever side of the debate you fall on, please give this documentary a try. At the very least it will make you think. And that is the start to healing the divide.

While I really like this movie, I'm not sure how I feel about all of the content and approaches. The one thing that I do like about it is how we are supposed to love the person and not the sin. And I love how we touch on the fact that we have radical Christians who destroyed the Christian life because of their approaches thus turning people from Jesus then toward Jesus. We are to love others as Jesus loved the church. When you show people an unconditional love, people then can start to believe in the gospel of Jesus. and that is when Jesus will do HIS work. However, I don't like the fact that the unsaved use unconditional love from God/Jesus as a crutch in order to continue in "revealed" sin. When you have a real heart change (desired relationship) and trust Jesus Christ you want to walk close to Him thus you want to turn from "revealed" sin.

It has nice production values and interesting interviews, but isn't it just pointing out the obvious?
