Love the first two and waiting for the third. When will the series be available for purchase? It would make a great Christmas gift!

I've thoroughly enjoyed this very well done documentary. I, too, have been very impressed with the breath of non-LDS scholars & theologians who offer their insight & commentary. Well done, BYUtv!!
