Product Description
Lee Stroebel delves into an investigation of the toughest objections to Christianity in this study of the most common emotional obstacles to faith in Christ. Doubt is familiar territory for Lee Strobel, the former atheist and award-winning author of books for skeptics and Christians. But he believes that faith and reason go hand in hand, and that Christianity is a defensible religion.
In his own personal life, Lee Strobel struggled with the reality that he didn't have answers to certain objections against the Christian faith. So, he set out to find answers to a set of questions he refers to as "The Big Eight."
1) If there's a loving God, why does this pain-wracked world groan under so much suffering and evil?
2) If the miracles of God contradict science, then how can any rational person believe that they're true?
3) If God really created the universe, why does the persuasive evidence of science compel so many to conclude that the unguided process of evolution accounts for life?
4) If God is morally pure, how can He sanction theslaughter of innocent children as the Old Testament says He did?
5) If Jesus is the only way to Heaven, then what about the millions of people who have never heard ofHim?
6) If God cares about the people He created, how could He consign so many of them to an eternity of torture in Hell just because they didn't believe the right things about Him?
7) If God is the ultimate overseer of the church, why has it been rife with hypocrisy and brutality throughout the ages?
8) If I'm still plagued by doubts, then is it possible to be a Christian?
As Strobel so pointedly writes, "Can faith really stand up to reason? Or will rigorous intellectual scrutiny chase God away?" In the course of his probing investigation, some of the toughest intellectual obstacles to faith fall away. Whatever intellectual or emotional objections one has to the
Christian faith are directly refuted by Strobel's honest and thorough discoveries.
