This book places Christianity on trial\u2014not in a hostile courtroom, but in the court of reason. Rather than asking readers to suspend their thinking, it invites them to examine the evidence. Is belief in God intellectually credible? Can science and Christianity coexist? Can the Gospels be trusted? Is Jesus really unique? Has Christianity done more harm than good? Why does a loving God allow suffering? Why does the God of the Old Testament sometimes appear so different from the God revealed in Jesus? What about miracles, hell, and the many other questions that cause thoughtful people to doubt?<\/p>\n
These are not new questions. They are questions that believers and sceptics alike have wrestled with for centuries. Some people reject Christianity because they have never heard satisfying answers. Others quietly carry these questions while remaining in church, afraid that asking them might be seen as a lack of faith.<\/p>\n
Questions are not the enemy of faith. Honest questions are often the pathway to a deeper, stronger faith. Christianity has nothing to fear from careful investigation if it is true.
\nThis book does not claim to answer every objection or remove every mystery. Some questions remain difficult, and thoughtful Christians have reached different conclusions on various issues. My aim is much more modest: to examine the evidence fairly, consider the major objections honestly, and ask whether Christianity still provides the most compelling explanation of reality.<\/p>\n
If Christianity is true, it deserves to be believed. If it is false, it should be rejected. Either way, it deserves a fair trial.<\/p>\n
The court is now in session.
\nThe evidence will be presented.
\nThe verdict is yours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
