Based on James Carroll’s book of the same title, he and Jacoby scour Europe and North America detailing the 1700-year old tradition (begun by Constantine) of bending Christian myths to justify killing. The materials cohere very persuasively (and prettily), creating a strong argument from testimony by religious scholars, local historians, military officials, politicians, and, most creepily, evangelists. The film hits hardest when Carroll reveals the fictions behind so many Christian ‘truths,’ and exposes the evangelizing of today’s U.S. military. (NR, 1:36)
