The Christian faith makes a lot of sense--of the world around us and the ache we feel inside.
If you've ever felt a longing deep in your heart for something you cannot name, this is your chance to explore it. It's an opportunity to ask hard questions, like why is there something and not nothing? What's the point of life if everything came into existence by accident? And if Jesus rose from the dead, would that really be good news?
Why Christianity Makes Sense tackles those questions head-on by showing how the Christian faith not only provides the best explanation for why the universe is the way it is, but also for why that's the happiest possible news we could get.
Because Christianity makes a lot more sense than you may realize.
When C.S. Lewis presented what would become Mere Christianity in a series of radio broadcasts during World War II, he was telling his audience about the sensibility of being a Christian, from a logical and moral standpoint. Now, award-winning author Gavin Ortlund takes up Lewis's tradition by presenting the gospel to a new generation in a fresh way designed to reveal its astounding beauty and depth.
Written in a welcoming style that's easy to pick up and read, Why Christianity Makes Sense unpacks questions about the Christian faith like:
- Will having faith make you happier?
- Does the Bible endorse evils like slavery and war?
- If God is real, why isn't he more obvious?
- What are some of the strongest arguments for the truth of Christianity?
For anyone in search of meaningful answers to the mysteries of the world and the purpose for their life, Why Christianity Makes Sense offers a fresh sense of wonder and enchantment at the gospel of Jesus.
