When Peter denied his relationship with Christ, a rooster crowed. When filmmaker Brian Flemming denied that Jesus even existed in a film called The God Who Wasn't There, a film critic crowed. Cliff Vaughn (Ethics Daily) says, "Which is worse: willful misrepresentation or incredibly sloppy research? Either way, it's hard to attach much credibility to the filmmaker, even if he makes a few valid points along the way. Swapping reliability for entertainment has never been and never will be a path to greater illumination … even if you, like Flemming, question the very nature of what lies on the other side."

Peter T. Chattaway interviewed Flemming for Christianity Today Movies in June.
