"The six sessions are not monologues in which Keller presents the ideas in the book. Instead he takes six common objections to Christianity and debates them with a group of unbelievers. Each session in about 18-20 minutes long. Keller gets perhaps a quarter of the air time. So these videos do not attempt to deliver knock-down arguments. The participants are not persuaded by the end of each session. Instead, each movie opens a discussion which includes a positive and engaging Christian perspective, but without this perspective dominating the debate. Keller does finish each session with a closing thought. This usually follows - as do many of his interventions - a presuppositional apologetic line. In other words, he turns the discussion back on the doubters to reveal the nature of their 'faith' and show the assumptions in their presuppositions." - Tim Chester
