 Great Teaching July 11, 2008

13 out of 15 found this review helpful
I would have to say, that i had been anticipating this release for some time now. Rob is a favorite of mine (which isnt uncommon today) and i thought a topic like this would suit him well. The thing i most enjoyed about it was his constant comparision to old testament sacrifices and the Grace of God. This video played much more like a sermon that his 1st release "Everything is Spiritual", which was more like a lecture. This release also explained what the Gospel is in a way that i have never thought of before. I am honestly thinking (as a pastor) that if you have someone with doubts in the existence or even love of God, allowing them to borrow The Gods Arent Angry and Everything is Spiritual may dismiss their doubts and get them on the path they need to be before they even set foot into a church service. Thank God for teachers like Rob Bell who speak in a way that even the biggest biblical novice could comprehend 10,000 years of history.
100% Recommend.
 Really good, but it's no "Everything is Spiritual" May 2, 2008

Okay,
So I haven't seen the DVD (because it's not available as of this review) but I saw the show live in Grand Rapids, which was the final show and there was a film crew there.
Let me start out by saying it was really good. I enjoyed it and it was decently biblical. I also like how he occasionally uses Rabbinical tradition. He does this not to say that some of the Rabbis stories about biblical characters were historically accurate, but to highlight how certain Rabbis thought about real biblical characters (like Abraham) to explain certain commandments like the prohibition against worshipping other gods and making idols. See the website for Christian Book Distributors for video clips containing one of these moments.
That being said, it wasn't as good as "Everything is Spiritual," which I loved. EIS had a lot more new information, like all the physics stuff. A lot of what he says in "The gods aren't Angry"...well...I felt like I already knew it.
Don't get me wrong, I still liked it a lot. I also plan on getting the DVD when it's available. Do I recommend it? Yes. Is it Rob's best work? No, but it's still good. Having been to Mars Hill a number of times it felt like another one of his sermons instead of a special event teaching.

If you liked Everything is Spiritual, you'll like this one too.
I wouldn't say (as a few reviews here) that it's not as good or as intense. I think it is equally informative regarding to history of ancient cults and customs but I think also that it is a lot more intense in the essence of the content. Everything is Spiritual is meant to bring reason to faith (...or faith to reason?), but The Gods Aren't Angry is more than that. It brings LOVE into the game. So now we have FAITH, REASON and LOVE.
You may not agree with some of the points he makes. I've been hearing that there is evolution preached here, or universalism. I was raised conservative and when I first heard Bell's preachings I was a little scared too. But I've been documenting my faith, I've been looking for the roots of what I believe and found that there is a lot to be learned and what he says makes a lot of sense. (I suggest to see Everything is Spiritual first, so you know what I'm talking about, see the round and square discussion). We don't need to embrace any new doctrine we hear, but we sure need to revise the ones we have and let our minds to be a little stretched before they become arthritic.
The Gods Aren't Ungry is meant to give you a big picture of God relationship with humanity and His plan to restore it through Jesus Christ. If you don't agree with all his "doctrine", you may still like this DVD as long as you catch at least a glimpse of its main message:
YOU DON'T HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS.

Rob Bell goes beyond relevant in this amazing project. I am sharing this with everyone I can get to watch it. The historical context of his message creates an understanding of some Biblical texts, and resonates Christ's story into my life today.
Some of us struggle with issues of shame, discontent, etc., and in this work, Rob Bell takes us on a spiritual journey to meet Christ. Awesome.
