Is the Christian faith worth believing, even if it cannot be proved and sometimes raises more questions than it answers? By turns testimony, Bible study, case study, and theological reflection, this book addresses that question, drawing on writers as diverse as Plato, Augustine, Luther, Pascal, Nietzsche, Dostoyevsky, Mark Twain, Stephen Hawking, and C. S. Lewis. Along the way it deals with common issues creating barriers to belief:
- The problem of evil
- The idea of God's judgment
- The plurality of religions
- Hypocrisy in the church
- Disturbing images like Satan and hell
- The paradoxical idea that Jesus saves by dying on a cross
- What salvation means not only in some future life but in this one
Ultimately the book comes back to stories--stories from the author and many others who have found in the odd collection of beliefs labeled "Christian" a faith worth living for.
