The Mystery of God (Sample + DVD Giveaway!)

Atheism is on the rise. Skeptical thinkers like Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, and Sam Harris vigorously attack belief in God as irrational or, even worse, dangerous. The so-called New Atheism has attracted millions of young people thanks to bestselling books such as The God Delusion and God Is Not Great.
In The Mystery of God, a new six-part film series and study program, Strange Notions contributor Bishop Robert Barron responds to this trend by teaching into the rich intellectual tradition of the Catholic Church. Using the insights of St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, Pope Benedict XVI, and more, he uncovers a clear yet sophisticated understanding of what Catholics mean by “God".
Who is God? And why does he matter? Watch this series and find out.
The six lessons in the film series cover:
- Lesson 1 - Atheism and What We Mean by "God"
- Lesson 2 - St. Thomas Aquinas and the Paths to God
- Lesson 3 - The Divine Attributes
- Lesson 4 - Providence and the Problem of Evil
- Lesson 5 - Exploring the Trinity
- Lesson 6 - The God Who Is Love
