Other people interviewed in the docu include Gene Robinson, the first openly gay bishop in the Episcopal Church, one of several subjects who attempt to explain how the Bible is compatible with homosexuality.
First Run plans a platform theatrical release for Bible beginning in October. The film was produced by Karslake, co-producer/editor Nancy Kennedy, co-producer Helen Mendoza and executive producers Michael Huffington, Bruce Bastian, Robin Voss, Robert Greenbaum and Keith Lewis.
