Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Simple questions they may be - but they are tough ones for any Christian to answer. This is a remarkably well written book by an atheist. The author doesn't want to pick a fight engage in argument. He just wants to have a conversation with Christians to explain why non-believers have difficulty accepting the claims and world view of Christians. The questions are explored with superb clarity and show a deep understanding of Christian thought. There is no sign of antagonism and the evidence and reasoning offered is compelling. The only (very minor) criticism is that I don't think the author's definition of irreducible complexity (an "intelligent design" concept) was accurate or fair. Apart from that, this book is a must read for anyone interested in Christian thought and the reasons for many people's genuinely held skepticism. ( ) no reviews | add a review
Belongs to Series
Written in a respectful and conversational style, this unique book is designed to promote constructive dialogue and foster mutual understanding between Christians and non-Christians. The author, a skeptic and journalist, asks basic questions about Christian belief. What is the born-again experience? Why would God want to sacrifice his only son for the world? Do miracles really happen? How reliable is the Bible? What is the rapture? Why isn't everyone a Christian? Each question is followed by commentary and analysis that is skeptical and tough but never argumentative or condescending. Christians will find the book useful as a basis for developing their apologetics, while skeptics will welcome Harrison's probing rational analysis of religious claims.
