Why Believe: Christian Apologetics for a Skeptical Age (Hobbs College Library)
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
Why bother with apologetics? Because the truth about God is worth understanding.
In an age of skepticism, the truth of the gospel can be difficult to defend. Faithful Christians may struggle to explain the reasons for their beliefs; they may even doubt that their faith is rational at all. In the face of difficult questions of truth, Why Believe? offers a clear path forward: a Christian apologetic that is both winsome and sound. It provides accessible explanations of several core concerns of apologetics, from arguments for the existence of God and the validity of Christ’s resurrection to common questions about the practice of faith. Most important, Why Believe? argues that Christianity is not only reasonable, but also fulfilling. Only through Christianity can we know Jesus, who is “the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6).
