Frank Schaeffer, the son of Francis Schaeffer (“How Shall We Then Live?”) and New York Times Best seller, author of “Crazy for God: How I Grew Up as One of the Elect, Helped Found the Religious Right, and Lived to Take All (or Almost All) of It Back” has blogged his thoughts on “With God On Our Side“.
Here is a sample:
“With God On Our Side is the most powerful, humane and compassionate documentary exposé of the Christian Zionist movement, and the impact of their ideology on the lives they have touched (and ruined), ever made. It is well crafted, subtle and fair. And — notable in the “when hell freezes over” department — it was directed and produced by… an American Evangelical.”
“After watching With God On Our Side I have a renewed hope for the Evangelicals in America. And maybe peace in Palestine and Israel is possible. This film can help that happen by signaling the beginning of the end of the largely unchallenged influence of Christian Zionism.”
“Speakman has gone a long way to proving that sometimes progressives’ smug dismissal of “all those Evangelicals” as nutty is as unfair as it is inaccurate. With his courage (the aptly named) Speakman proves that truth may sometimes be spoken by the most unexpected people.”
“With God On Our Side does more than just present another Evangelical perspective — it presents an opportunity for Christians of all denominations as well as Jews, Muslims, atheists and agnostics — whomever — to engage for peace as vigorously as the Christian Zionists root for war.”
Thank you Frank for taking the time to view our film, and give your own insights. It is much appreciated!
