Great documentary

Review by Matt, 2010-08-14

Gives great detail about how the three Abrahamic faiths (Christianity, Islam, Judaism)are related and how their beliefs came about.

Most Enjoyable

Review by J. Pawlicki, 2009-10-30

I love the works by Karen Armstrong, but this is subject matter that is a little more than difficult to present with any objectivity. It is food for thought and is probably part of a bigger picture.

The history of God in the "three" monotheistic religions

Review by Luay Alsharif, 2009-09-20

This documentary is based on a book by Karen Armstrong, it tackled the history of God throughout the major three religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam), but don't expect the history of God in other religions than those three, that was the only trade-off in this documentary, I think it would have been better if the documentation covered how the history of God developed in other religions like Buddhism and Baha'i religion, but that didn't happen.

Biblical? No. But worth a watch...

Review by Erin, 2009-06-22

Don't buy this DVD expecting a solid scriptural source. The content is stereotypically secular, and biased toward the pervasive attitude of academia. However, the documentary aspect is strong, with great editing and visuals (par for the course with anything labeled History Channel). I would recommend this as a resource for those who are searching for something to juxtapose a scholarly christian perspective, or to illustrate the "worldly perception" of God. Information covers the broader concept of monotheistic god. Judeo-christian information falls short of accurate, but overall the presentation holds up.
