Why Should I Believe Christianity? Does it Work?

Why Should I Believe Christianity? (The Big Ten)
Author(s): James Anderson
Publisher: Christian Focus Publications
Price: $3.00      

Some people boldly claim, “Christianity is fine for some, but it isn’t for me”. Others feel it is just outdated and irrelevant. Still others see it as a negative, or even dangerous, influence in the world. For better or worse, everyone in the Western world has come into contact with Christianity: we all have some opinion on it.
James Anderson writes with a clear, humorous logic which, rather than attempting to persuade or force a positive view of Christianity, simply lays out the arguments backing up the beliefs. He explores what Christianity really claims, and shows the underlying reason and consistency behind these claims. By the end of Why Should I Believe Christianity?, while you may not agree with the Christian worldview, it is impossible to be left sitting on the fence.

This is the first installment of The Big Ten: Critical Questions Answered – a Christian apologetics series which addresses ten commonly asked questions about God, the Bible, and Christianity. Each book, while easy to read, is challenging and thought-provoking, dealing with subjects ranging from hell to science.

Wasn’t the South African apartheid supported by Christians? Weren’t the Crusades motivated by greed, but advocated by the church? Don’t phoney television preachers manipulate viewers into donating money? – and don’t these, and many more examples, mean Christianity doesn’t really work?
Navigating this area can be difficult and confusing. William Edgar, though, addresses these and other questions honestly, without attempting to dismiss or explain away their uncomfortable realities. He displays the good aspects of the church even more brilliantly through frankly and Biblically acknowledging the bad. If you have ever asked the question Does Christianity Really Work? this will be an interesting and enlightening read, whatever your prior convictions.
