Academy Award winner Morgan Freeman explores the meaning of life, God, and many big questions in between in an effort to understand how religion has evolved and shaped society. A different divine subject is covered in each hourlong episode, titles of which include "Creation," "The Devil Inside," "Afterlife," "Apocalypse," and "Who Is God?" To explore these topics, host and narrator Freeman travels to the world's greatest religious sites, among them Jerusalem's Wailing Wall, India's Bodhi Tree, Mayan temples in Guatemala, and the pyramids of Egypt, and he immerses himself in religious experiences and rituals. "In some places I found answers, and others led to more questions. The constant through it all is that we're all looking to be part of something bigger than us. If there's one thing I've learned, it's that we certainly are," Freeman says.

04/16/2020 وثائقي يصحبك في جولة لتستكشف منظور مختلف أصحاب الديانات والحضارات وإجابتها عن الاسئلة الوجودية الكبرى، كيف بدأ الخلق؟ ماذا بعد الموت؟ .. ويبين دور الأديان المختلفة في صناعة أحداث التاريخ وصياغة المجتمعات والأفراد في مختلف البلدان. قصة الإله مقاربة باستخدام العلوم الحديثة/التجريبية (علم التاريخ، علم الأُناسة، علم التنقيب الأثري، علم الكونيات، .. إلى آخره.) يصحبنا فيها مورجان فريمان في اكثر من ١٢ دولة بأكثر من خلفية دينية/فلسفية لإجابة أسئلة حول جذور التديُّن/التألُّه، هل أن فكرة الإله هي مُخترَع بشري/حضاري لسد فجوة معرفية لتفسير أسباب الظواهر الطبيعية ومحاولة تفسير/تسكين لكل ما هو ضد الأنا (الخوف، الفقد، الغربة،الطمع)؟ أم ان السؤال التجريبي عن الأديان من الأصل فكرة غير صحيحة؟! See more 12/31/2019 An excellent examination of god from the perspective of not only multiple religions but from science as well. See more 03/26/2019 I'm only leaving a review because I find it funny that Morgan Freeman was God in "Bruce Almighty," and now tells the story of God. See more 02/17/2019 I hate how surface level this show is. It does not elaborate on details that matter. Just repeats common knowledge and quickly skips anything that could be seen as controversial. Like sexism within religion and how women are not allowed in sacred rooms or how they are not allowed to touch historical walls, or how they cannot join certain ceremonies or services. So much footage from this show is showing men in the absence of women, but the reasons why should not be overlooked. See more Read all reviews
