An inquiry into the existence and character of God in eight parts.
Written and presented by Gerald Priestland
1: Case for the Prosecution
During the Holocaust a group of Jews put God on trial for neglect of his chosen people. They found him guilty then worshipped him. But how can there be a God who permits so much agony? And why is belief so optional? The investigator hears evidence from both sides.
