Surely faith is irrational? And hasn't science buried God? Isn't faith a psychological crutch or sociological construct? Don't you need evidence? Wasn't Jesus just another myth? Can we really believe the miracle stories? How do we know that the accounts of Jesus weren't just made up? Hasn't the Bible been distorted? Did Jesus really claim to be God? Did the resurrection actually happen? And what has it got to do with us anyway?
The Christian faith may seem attractive, but is it true?... And what if it is true? Could our desires actually be a pointer to the God who really is there and desires to be known by us?
The third book by Michael Ots. This one deals with 'honest responses to popular objections to the Christian faith.' Like 'isn't faith irrational?' 'Hasn't science buried God?' "isn't it a psychological crutch?' 'aren't the accounts of Jesus unreliable?' --- as usual his writing is clear and humorous. A good book to read yourself and lend to others. A good follow up to "What Kind of God?" - which deals more with objections to the character of God (is he just, loving, good...?)
A good introduction to many of the areas that people may question when thinking about he Bible/Christianity. In some chapters, he was a little less detailed than he could have been, but a really helpful list of other books is provided at the end of each chapter for more information. If you have wondered about any of the topics listed on the back of the book, this isn't a bad place to start, and it is very easy to read. If you haven't ever thought about the Bible and if it is true, do have a read-the claims of the Bible are huge so it is worth checking to see if the evidence backs it up.
