Hell and Mr. Fudge - In 1970's Alabama, a young preacher struggles with his faith, and attacks from his church, after being hired to prove whether or not Hell exists. Hell and Mr. Fudge (2012) Director: Jeff Wood Writers: Donald Davenport Stars: Mackenzie Astin, Keri Lynn Pratt, Wes Robertson Genre: Biography, Drama Country: United States Language: English Release Date: July 7, 2012 (United States) Filming Location: Alabama, USA Synopsis: In the mid-1970's, Edward Fudge, a young preacher in Athens Alabama, is approached by an eccentric Australian man who offers to hire him to prove whether or not an eternally burning Hell exists. Raised by a father who was a well loved,fundamentalist church leader, Fudge personally believes in a conservative theology which promotes the notion that people who are not saved will suffer torment in hell for eternity. But Fudge, a respected theologian and researcher, agrees to set his preconceptions aside and dedicate a year of his life to do a systematic investigation of the subject, for the small fee of $3000.00. As Fudge immerses himself in research, other aspects of his life begin to crumble. He comes under attack from leaders of his denomination for suggesting that members of other denominations may be saved. He is fired from the church he loves for inviting a black man to pray from the podium. He is fired from the publishing company he's worked for since childhood, because he refuses to recant his positions. He becomes so committed to his research that his relationship with his wife and children begin to suffer. And, most importantly, in the course of his investigation some of his core beliefs about the character of God are shaken from their foundations. Ultimately, Fudge emerges as a defender of faith and Scripture, and a champion for God's love. Today Edward Fudge is a well-respected author, lecturer, and theologian. The book that resulted from his research, "The Fire That Consumes", is one of the most exhaustive studies on the subject of Hell and eternal torment. It stands as a testimony to a man who had the courage to search for truth, and to pay the price for what he found. Reviews: The movie handles the subject of cognitive dissonance in a powerful and relatable way, as the main character loses sleep and struggles with the possible consequences of losing all his relationships for what he is learning to be true. The film also explores deep doctrinal issues, such as the idea of hell as eternal torment vs. A permanent punishment, and delves into the history of Plato and the concept of the immortal soul. There is an issue where Fudge in the film appears slightly ecumenical in his position regarding the church, which I am unsure is true to reality. For a Christian film, the acting and music are well done and not cheesy. - written by "clarkasweepstakes" on IMDb.com SUPPORT US! Membership - https://bit.ly/37NgT9K FOLLOW US!
