Synopsis

This book, which discusses the beliefs and duties of Christians, engages with many pre-existing prejudices against them, arguing for the rationality of Christian belief. The author gathers many objections of the irreligious and answers them, ultimately seeking to invite the reader to consider the benefits and meaning that Christian religious life can bring. The author draws on diverse sources to support his argument, citing extensively from scripture, historical and philosophical texts, and other works of respected Christian thinkers. Many of the arguments against Christian belief rely on a misreading of scripture or a misunderstanding of basic Christian beliefs. This book sets these arguments right, showing how Christian belief can and should make sense. The author argues that leading a Christian life can lead to greater happiness and satisfaction and that the moral and ethical insights of Christianity are of great benefit to society. In its time, this book was foundational to the arguments of Christian apologists and can still serve as valuable reading for anyone interested in the continuing discussion of the basis for Christian belief.
