Having a grasp of the key thinkers and the key ideas that have shaped our milieu is a critical aspect of this understanding the times challenge. And these three programs are a vital aid in helping us meet it." Eric Holmberg - The Apologetics Group In 1999, the BBC broadcast a trilogy of documentaries discussing leading influential philosophers of the 20th Century. Named after Friedrich Nietzsche's :Human, All Too Human," the focus of the series fell on the European tradition of what is loosely termed Continental Philosophy, and discussed the life and work of three major thinkers of the last two hundred years. Tellingly, all three embraced some form of atheism and were at the epicenter of the "God is dead" movement. The results were Hitler, Marx, and a militant moral relativism that ushered in the bloodiest, most dehumanizing century in history. Using period pictures and movie footage and featuring interviews with a broad range of modern thinkers, each episode offers a succinct and entertaining glance at these three philosopher's lives while neatly summarizing some of their central ideas. "Beyond Good and Evil" examines the life and philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche, German philosopher, poet, cultural critic and classical philologist. His influence remains substantial within and beyond philosophy, while his style and radical questioning of the value and objectivity of truth and the existence of God helped birth existentialism, nihilism and their offspring, postmodernism. Central to his philosophy is the idea of "life-affirmation", which involves an honest questioning of all doctrines that drain life's expansive energies, however socially prevalent and radical those views might be. "Thinking the Unthinkable" centers on Martin Heidegger, the German philosopher known for his existential and phenomenological explorations of the "question of Being." His influence is far reaching, from philosophy to deconstructionism and literary theory, theology, architecture, and artificial intelligence. Heidegger was also a highly controversial philosopher not only for his interpretation of the concept of Being, but especially because of his affiliation with the Nazis, for which he never apologized nor expressed regret, except in private when he called it "the biggest stupidity of his life." "The Road to Freedom" explores the life Jean-Paul Sartre, the French existentialist philosopher, playwright, novelist, screenwriter, political activist, biographer, and literary critic. He was one of the key figures in the philosophy of existentialism, and one of the leading figures in 20th century French philosophy and Marxism. His work has and continues to influence sociology, critical theory, and literary studies. This episode examines his atheistic/humanistic presuppositions and how they informed his belief that it is up to each individual person to become "free" -- to endow his or her own life with meaning and purpose.

Patrick Henry's famous declaration not only helped launch the War for Independence, it also perfectly summarized the mindset that gave birth to, and sustained, the unprecedented experiment in Christian liberty that was America. The freedom our Founders envisioned was not freedom from suffering, want, or hard work. Nor was it freedom to indulge every appetite or whim without restraint—that would merely be servitude to a different master. No, the Founders' passion was to live free before God, unfettered by the chains of autocracy, shackles that slowly but inexorably bind men when the governments they fashion fail to recognize and uphold freedom's singular, foundational truth: that all men are created in the image of God, and are thereby co-equally endowed with the right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." America's Founders further understood that the human heart tends towards envy and sloth; that some people will pervert the right to pursue happiness into a guarantee of happiness; that many will willingly feed "Leviathan"— intrusive government that promises, however thinly, to erase those difficulties and inequities of life that are necessarily the messy side of freedom. Ben Franklin issued an early warning against this impulse, one that has become epidemic: "Any people that would give up liberty for a little temporary safety deserves neither liberty nor safety." Tragically, the principles that guided Henry, Franklin, and the rest of the Founders have become a distant memory, if even that. The majority of us have squandered our capacity to reason like free men because we have lost our lexicon. We have forgotten the very grammar of freedom. Lately, however, there are signs that many Americans are awakening from their socialism-induced slumber. The rise of the Tea Party and the popularity of incongruous candidates like Ron Paul testify to the stirrings of a latent memory of freedom. Nevertheless, as we have attended events and rallies, conducted interviews, and surfed the sea of writings and internet postings surrounding this phenomenon, we have seen that there is a clear and present danger of "healing the hurt only slightly" (Jeremiah 6:14); of using band aids when a tourniquet—if not a resurrection—is needed. "Lazarus, come forth!" Jesus once called to a dead man. This presentation is a similar call, not to one but many. By reintroducing the principles of freedom that gave birth to America, it is our prayer that Jesus, the true and only ruler over the nations, will once again be our acknowledged Sovereign, that we may again know and exult in the great truth that "where the Spirit is LORD, there is liberty" (2 Cor. 3:17). Welcome to the Second American Revolution. This DVD features "Liberty: The Model of Christian Liberty" along with "Dawn's Early Light: A Brief History of America's Christian Foundations." Bonus features include a humorous but instructive collection of campaign ads and Eric's controversial YouTube challenge concerning Mitt Romney's campaign for president.

The folks at Living Hope, some who came out of the Mormon cult themselves, have done the cause of Christ a real service by producing these excellent and compelling videos." Eric Holmberg, The Apologetics Group In this unique documentary, produced entirely in Israel, a Christian and a Mormon sit down to dialogue about one of the most important questions of faith: How do we know if a prophet is speaking the truth? Listen in on their fascinating discussion and follow along as they travel throughout the Holy Land in search of the facts. They will put Biblical prophets and Mormon prophets to the test in order to find out if their predictions actually took place in history. If even one prediction fails to come true, then that prophet fails the test! http://theapologeticsgroup.com/product/the-bible-vs-joseph-smith/

{ytthumb}The DVD is available here: http://theapologeticsgroup.com/product/shadows-of-the-supernatural/ Rarely in the history of Western culture has there been more interest in the supernatural. Hollywood churns out movies and TV shows that deal with otherworldly themes at a rate that is unprecedented. Studies and surveys confirm that despite the growing influence of science and philosophical materialism (the idea that the material world is all that there is) belief in a spiritual world is, if anything, on the rise. But while belief in the supernatural is strong, any type of consensus about what the metaphysical world is like is on the wane. Relativism and multiculturalism have fostered the idea that it's "whatever you think it is...as long as you're sincere." Well, what if it isn't? What if spiritual realities and decrees are just a firm and immutable as the laws that govern our material world? SHADOWS OF THE SUPERNATURAL examines these questions - and others - as it takes its viewers on a journey into the realms of the spirit. More importantly, it winsomely and powerfully presents the One who can help us both understand and navigate these "shadow lands."

Most people will say such a statement is extreme to the point of being ridiculous, even fanatical. That is only because they have no sense of history -- the rise and fall of cultures -- and also don't understand the transcendental principles and realities upon which our existence is rooted. If we destroy marriage (and this video clearly shows that this is where we are headed) we will in the end have destroyed our future and ourselves. http://theapologeticsgroup.com/product/the-problem-with-same-sex-marriage/
