Confronting Christianity - 12 Hard Questions for the World's Largest Religion
Confronting Christianity - 12 Hard Questions for the World's Largest Religion
Christianity is the most widespread global belief system, and promises to remain so well into the future. But for many educated westerners, biblical Christianity is a dangerous idea—challenging some of their deepest beliefs.
Channeling state-of-the-art research, personal stories, and careful biblical study, Confronting Christianity explores 12 questions that keep many of us from considering faith in Christ. Look more closely, McLaughlin argues, and the reality of suffering, the complexity of sexuality, the desire for diversity, the success of science, and other seeming roadblocks to faith become signposts. Jesus becomes not a relic from the ancient world, but our modern world’s best hope.
McLaughlin discusses twelve important questions which all Christians need to grapple with at some stage. Some of these are questions Christians have been thinking about for as long as there have been Christians, while others are more recent. But whether you are struggling with these twelve questions yourself, or struggling with how to answer them for a friend, this book is a great start to understanding and engaging from a Christian world view.
