Overview

Is there really any evidence for the existence of God? Are Christians able to provide any intellectually satisfying reasons for their faith in Jesus Christ? Is there any way to become acquainted with philosophical arguments about the existence of God besides reading through large, dry, academic books? Yes, there is! The purpose of this book is to help people understand the philosophical arguments and debates that swirl around the Christian faith. It is sensitive to the fact that many people are not interested in heavy academic books of philosophy. Since it is written in the form of a philosophical dialogue, it has a conversational style that makes it easy to read and understand. Difficult arguments are presented clearly and concisely. Anyone who is interested in better understanding how Christianity relates to philosophy, science, history, and truth will benefit from reading this book.
