Recently, In two columns, God on trial and The inner light of a man, I mentioned the BBC film, God on Trial (this is different from Elie Wiesel’s play). The scene above is the culminating argument made by a rabbi, condemning God. The film is actually a series of powerful dialogues on faith. In Losing my religion, the movie’s script writer, Frank Cottrell Boyce, described how he wrote the script.

One Feedback on "God on trial"
Butch Tan
That BBC clip is of a dicsourse that could have taken place in any synagogue or yeshiva in the last 2000 years. The question asked of Y**H is always: “So what is really wanted of us?” To which Y**H ’s answer will be a cryptic “Keep trying.” To which the learned scholars would reply “But the rules keep changing!”
It’s complicated. I have a visceral thought that JESUS came to simplify things.
