An award-winning evangelistic and apologetics drama

This classic Christian drama presents convincing evidence that Christ rose from the dead. “Beloved Enemy” is the story of a skeptical scientist’s search for truth.

The action flows from ski slopes to jungles and involves the relationship of a Christian woman who—due to her desire to obey God’s Word—refuses to marry a non-believer, an attractive, but agnostic young scientist.

The message of this film is as relevant today as when it won “Best Evangelical Film of 1964”—and maybe more so!

Positive—I saw this movie as a teenager and have always remembered it. I would say that it probably impacted my life in ways that I did not recognize at the time—one being the Biblical principle of maintaining a stand not to marry an unbeliever—no matter how attractive, intelligent and appealing that potential partner might be, as was the male star in this movie; and secondly, that when a scientist or anyone seeks truly to find truth, that road eventually leads to God and His irrefutable knowledge and love.

This film is set in beautiful scenery and is a classic in timeliness and relevance.
My Ratings: [Excellent! / 5]

Positive—“Beloved Enemy” remains one of my all-time favorite films. I knew several of the actors, and I was blessed by the story. Much was filmed near my home in Peoria, IL. I’d love to have a copy of your DVD.
