Rocked by questions about his faith, award-winning investigative filmmaker Timothy Mahoney seeks scientific evidence that Moses actually wrote the first books of the Bible—despite the skepticism of mainstream scholars. Since the Bible claims that Moses was the author of one of the greatest stories in the entire Bible—the Israelites’ Exodus out of Egypt and their journey to Mt Sinai where Moses received the Ten Commandments from God—Mahoney realizes that the question of Moses’ ability to write its first books impacts the credibility of the entire Bible. The Patterns of Evidence team returns with a brand-new examination: The Moses Controversy. This nationwide cinema event also includes an exclusive panel discussion hosted by Todd Starnes, who is joined by Michael Medved, Os Guinness, A. R. Bernard, and Mahoney.
