God’s Not Dead stars Hercules actor Kevin Sorbo as a professor who gets into a debate as to whether God is alive or dead, as the film title would suggest.
Present-day college freshman and devout Christian, Josh Wheaton (Shane Harper), finds his faith challenged on his first day of Philosophy class by the dogmatic and argumentative Professor Radisson (Kevin Sorbo). Radisson begins class by informing students that they will need to disavow, in writing, the existence of God on that first day, or face a failing grade. As other students in the class begin scribbling the words “God Is Dead” on pieces of paper as instructed, Josh find himself at a crossroads, having to choose between his faith and his future.
Josh offers a nervous refusal, provoking an irate reaction from his smug professor. Radisson assigns him a daunting task: if Josh will not admit that “God Is Dead,” he must prove God’s existence by presenting well-researched, intellectual arguments and evidence over the course of the semester, and engage Radisson in a head-to-head debate in front of the class.
God’s Not Dead also stars Willie Robertson, David A.R. White, Korie Robertson and Marco Khan, and there’s no UK date yet set for it, but it’s not a film I’ll be holding my breath for as it looks like a tedious TV movie which has somehow made its way to the big screen.
