DVD Preview: Rebellion of Thought
The culture has gone postmodern, denying absolutes and the existence of truth. We've heard it a thousand times. But the new documentary Rebellion of Thought: Postmodernism, the Church and the Struggle for Authentic Faith (Exploration Films) by Brad and Kent J. Williamson goes beyond announcing the shift and actually explains the tenets of postmodern thought and explores ways that Christians can respond.
The film features an array of interviews with intellectual heavyweights such as D.A. Carson and Jim Spiegel, broken by commentary from the documentary's makers. The cinematography is mind-bending, which somehow seems appropriate as you listen to philosophers opine on a world devoid of absolutes. The film has its weaknesses. The documentary is at its best when the experts do the talking and the call to action at the end is vague and has questionable validity. But the film serves as an excellent primer on postmodernism. Perhaps most important, it raises crucial questions—and hopefully will stimulate fruitful dialogue—at this critical moment in time.
DVD Release date: November 2007
