Review

"Visually and intellectually rich exciting and provocative (Rebellion of Thought) will make big waves in the world of faith and spirituality!" --Paul Wagner, Academy Award-winning Documentarian (The Stone Carvers)

Product Description

"There are no absolutes what's true for you is not necessarily true for me." - A Post Modern Thought

"So what happens when the group of people who've been reared on this kind of post-modern thinking then become our surgeons, our bankers and accountants, police officers and judges?" -David Fletcher, Assoc. Professor of Philosophy/Wheaton College

What is post-modernism? How has it affected our culture? How will it impact our future? What is the role of the church in a post-modern world? Does man truly need God or is God merely a fairytale idea left-over from a past cultural experiment? These questions are the launching point for Rebellion of Thought, as filmmakers, The Brothers Williamson, examine a new generation that refuse to accept authority, code and convention. How do believers in Christ express their faith in a compelling, relevant way?

Featuring these experts who take a critical look at the role of authentic Christian faith in a post-modern culture: Angus Menuge (Chair of Philosophy - Concordia University), D.A. Carson (Prof. Of New Testament - Trinity Evangelical Divinity School), Jim Spiegel (Professor of Philosophy - Taylor University), Bruce Ellis Benson (Assoc. Prof. Of Philosophy - Wheaton College) and Gene Edward Veith, Jr. (Culture Editor - World Magazine)

They don't just dance around the edges of this mind-splitting phenomenon. They ask the searing, heart-rending yet necessary questions and offer some thoughtful and tangible solutions.

Raw, urgent music by a variety of Indie bands provides the musical context for this journey. Abby Someone, Inner Surge, Joniqa, Mixtapes for Girlfriends, Stereovolt, West of Verona, Audrey Hatcher Woodams and others are featured, with the entire soundtrack available separately on the DVD extras.

5.0 out of 5 stars This will stretch your traditional church vision, February 14, 2008

By

This review is from: Rebellion of Thought (DVD)

I recommend Rebellion of Thought with no reservations. It puts forth a very clear understanding of the general mindset of our postmodern world. It is not about whether you like postmodernity or not, but its reality and how is surrounds us and the fundamentally different way that the western culture arbitrates what we accept as true and not true. It is critical of the institutional church denominations because our pews are filled with people who might have orthodox belief systems but don't live their lives congruent with the claims of Jesus. Veith is one of my favorite authors on the subject. This would be tremendous to view either with a group of secular Genxers, or with those who are entrenched in modernity and totally committed to our traditional church structures. The video production is totally postmodern-styled editing as well and the video communicats about as much as the audio track does. In all cases the video reinforces what is being said with strong clear immages. The discussion about relativism in morality being the only way to approach life is incapable of addressing the reality of objective evil that we see. All voice are not worthy of a seat at the table of discussion and are not of equally compelling morality and just contextualized. Scenes from Hitler reinforce this point dramatically. Get a copy of this to watch if you care about authentic Christian faith and want to challenge your thinking outside the traditional boxes.

2.0 out of 5 stars It really depends on what you want., April 29, 2009

By 

A. B. Wilner (Roanoke, VA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Rebellion of Thought (DVD)

I am very disappointed in this film. Mostly because it seems like it is talking about two different subjects at the same time. On the one hand, the film interviews some experts in the field of philosophy and theology, who fairly effectively trace the history and progression of postmodern thought. On the other hand, there are the two film makers who simply discuss their unhelpful and sometimes irrelevant to the discussion ideas.

The brothers Williamson are asking questions that have little to do with postmodernism and more to do with their own personal dissatisfaction with the church. It's like they made this film to throw out their own ideas and advertised it as a film on postmodernism. While some of the interviews with the experts are helpful in clarifying trends in postmodern thought, this video as whole is unhelpful as a whole.

Worth buying. Thought provoking. Helps you to understand not only what Modernism, Post Modernism and Relativism are, but also makes you think about what the future holds for a society that is believin there are no absolute truths.
