ACal Thomas, syndicated column
“The Question of God” is one of the finest programs to air on television in many years. …people with faith that television, which was once good, might be good again, will want to haul out the accolades and awards for this program. It is worth the time to watch. It is worth the time to investigate the claims discussed. It might even restore (or enhance) your faith.”

Muskegon Chronicle, August 13, 2004
“…Utterly arresting documentary…. The show features the standard and always-illuminating expert interview segments and sophisticated roundtable discussion… a lively and fascinating roundtable discussion… These talk are so thought-provoking and palpably exciting that they make a viewer want to crawl into the screen and take part.”

Catholic Sun, August 24, 2004
“The program’s content is often heady but always insightful.”

Plugged In, September 2004
“These discussions are terrific illustrations of different worldviews. Many segments are worthy of a pause and rewind to get the full depth of what’s being said.”

Catholic News Service, September 2, 2004
“The Question of God: Sigmund Freud & C.S. Lewis with Dr. Armand Nicholi," an absorbing four-hour series…… thought-provoking documentary…… interlaces the debate with handsomely dramatized recreations of episodes from Freud and Lewis' lives…… this well-worth-watching series offers much food for thought.”

Chronicle of Higher Education, September 10, 2004
“The Question of God serves well as an introduction to those complex issues. In the current media climate of news bites, humiliating reality TV, and shrill oppositional politics, the real miracle is that an intelligent show about God was made at all.”

San Jose Mercury News, September 11, 2004
“Provocative show draws from Freud, C.S. Lewis”

Daily News, LA, September 12, 2004
“It’s not often you get to sit in on a Harvard course for free, and this is presented with thoughtfulness and grace.”

The Hollywood Reporter, September 15, 2004
“This is beautifully produced by Tatge-Lasseur Productions …”

The Hartford Courant, September 15, 2004
“The engrossing miniseries “The Question of God” is closely based on the seminar; it gathers a group of thinkers to discuss the deep questions.”

The Seattle Times, September 15, 2004
“…Stunningly well-acted and filmed re-enactments of the men’s lives…. “The Question of God” offers a calm, enlightened exploration of spiritual belief and disbelief.”

The Boston Globe, September 15, 2004
“The dramatized sections are the most compelling. The essential content is in the ideas as presented in the protagonists’ own words, and both are authentic.”

St. Louis Post Dispatch, September 15, 2004
“’The Question of God’ one of the most ambitious and thoughtful PBS programs of the year…”

GetReligion.com, September 15, 2004
“God bless PBS… I think the conversations between Nicholi and his guest panelists form the heart of the series. They represent the same pointed discussions that take place day after day, whether in restaurants or libraries or through popular culture, between skeptics and believers.”

New York Times, September 18, 2004
“Scholarly commentary and lively…debate will certainly encounter unfamiliar and fascinating facts about Freud and Lewis and some real insights into the question of God existence.”

World Magazine, September 18, 2004
“…The program is an excellent introduction to worldview thinking… And it shows that when the playing field is scrupulously fair and balanced, Christian ideas can hold their own with the best of them.”

Tulsa World, September 19, 2004 (Mike Jones)
“PBS, which continues to offer top-notch entertainment, has scored another hit with “The Question of God.” It is informative, insightful and entertaining.”

The Scout Report, October 1, 2004
“PBS may not have cornered the entire market on thoughtful and intelligent television programming, but they certainly have garnered the lion’s share of this type of material. One of the network’s most recent programs “Question of God”, is certainly proof positive of this fact.”

Tulsa World, October 3, 2004 (Danny M. Adkison)
“Maybe you saw the PBS show that will be one of the best on television this year. It was a great program…”
