Hi Wredsox,
I read the transcript. There's nothing new there from what I've seen. Historical errors re Nicea in the second last paragraph, even by themselves, are sufficient to cast doubt on the reliability of all the other 'research' which went into the production.
The producers *clearly* have no appreciation of how *counter*-cultural the early 'Jesus movement' was (both in Jewish and Roman cultures). Similarly they fail to appreciate that people who *do* know history have been converted from agnosticism and atheism when they have approached the material with an open mind. CS Lewis and Malcolm Muggeridge are perhaps standout examples from "the West" of the twentieth century.
If you find the material in that movie convincing, why not have a read through some of the counter-material.
