There's one particularly low moment, though, where we are treated to the spectacle of a white man schooling the clueless African-American principal of the school ( Robin Givens) about what Martin Luther King really meant in his famous letter from the Birmingham jail. Metcalfe adds at least a layer of nuance to the ham-fisted proceedings. He is not a Christian, but feels strongly that she was not preaching or proselytizing in the classroom, but merely answering a question posed to her. The character is a public defender assigned to her case. The gorgeous Jesse Metcalfe, as Grace's lawyer, gives a good performance as well. Warner Wallace, who used his forensic statement analysis skills on the gospels, resulting in a book called "Cold Case Christianity." He's put on the stand in defense of poor, wronged Grace Wesley, and his testimony is simply delivered and thought-provoking.

The only really good scene in the movie features real-life cold case homicide detective, J. The court case has its moments of interest, and plays out as it would in real-life, with different groups of protesters screaming at each other on the courthouse steps, and the constant chatter of the various zealot-outrage-brigades on television. Grace is called on the carpet, she refuses to apologize, and the whole thing ends up being battled out in a court of law under the watchful eyes of the nation.
They define themselves as "rationalists" and "free thinkers" (code words for "atheism" in the world-view of "God's Not Dead 2," and if you didn't get that, then just look at the mother's cold-bitch Alexis Carrington wardrobe as well as the fact that she doesn't grieve her young son's death). The parents of the student who asked the question complain to the school. Grace Wesley ( Melissa Joan Hart)-her first and last name symbolic of her importance to Christianity-teaches AP History, and one day answers a question in class about the connection between the teachings of Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. The sequel moves the action to a high school.
"God's Not Dead 2" (like that old recurring joke from " Saturday Night Live": "Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead") gathers together much of the same cast of characters, including the Newsboys (and both were directed by Harold Cronk, and scripted by Cary Solomon and Chuck Konzelman). "God's Not Dead" told the story of a young Christian college student locked in a battle of wills with an atheist philosophy professor who wants his students to declare "God Is Dead." The movie was crowded with as many subplots as an entire season of a television series, complete with a rousing concert at the end by the Christian pop group Newsboys.
