Why People Don't Believe - Confronting Six Challenges to Christian Faith (Paperback)


Religion is increasingly seen as a dangerous source of violence in the world, breeding a fear of faith in a very vocal group of critics. Most Christians are blissfully unaware of the litany of allegations being brought against religion, including that it is the cause of intolerance, imperialism, irrationality, bigotry, and war, to name a few. But ignorance is not the answer.
In "Why People Don't Believe," Paul Chamberlain strives to represent the concerns and challenges raised against religious faith, particularly those raised against Christianity, to help readers understand them. He then thoughtfully responds to these criticisms, honestly evaluating whether they have merit. Lastly, he outlines the many good and humane contributions Christianity has made to the world throughout the past 2,000 years.
Anyone who is troubled by today's headlines involving religious violence or who wants to be able to respond intelligently to critics will find "Why People Don't Believe" a welcome, hopeful book.
