The film follows Lee Strobel and his wife Leslie after her conversion to Christianity. Strobel is a Chicago Tribune crime investigator at the time and as an avowed atheist he is appalled that he is going to lose his wife to this ‘nonsense.’ He begins his own two-year investigative journey into the historicity of Christ’s resurrection. It is rather hard to take the 70’s setting, hair styles and clothing but the screenwriter does a very credible job of the film. He is Risen, indeed!!!
“When we open the Bible and read it, we are eavesdropping on an ancient spiritual journey.”
“Reading the Bible responsibly and respectfully today means learning what it meant for ancient Israelites to talk about God the way they did, and not pushing alien expectations onto texts written long ago and far away.”
