Synopsis

People regularly give certain reasons for not believing in God, but they are much less aware of what the New Testament actually teaches. Although challenges to Christianity are perennial and have frequently been addressed, they are noticeably more common today and are currently of particular interest among evangelicals.

Skeptics of Christianity often ask highly regarded biblical scholar and popular speaker Craig Blomberg how he can believe in a faith that seems so problematic. How can God allow evil and suffering? Isn't the Bible anti-women, anti-gay, and pro-slavery? Isn't the New Testament riddled with contradictions? What about the nature of hell, violence in Scripture, and prayer and predestination? Following the author's successful Can We Still Believe the Bible?, this succinct and accessible book focuses on what the New Testament teaches about ten key reasons people give for not believing in God.

Starting with the preface of the book, I saw something I resonated with greatly in Blomberg. He talks about devouring literature and other forms of content to get to the bottom of questions that bothered him. I recall doing the same. I’ve read book after book, watched debates, lectures, listen to po......more

Goodreads review by Lucas on May 25, 2021

I am a huge Craig Blomberg fan, as well as a bit of an apologetics nerd, so I was excited when I saw this book coming out. In this short work, Blomberg addresses ten common questions and offers brief and accessible defenses to the questions. Blomberg, while certainly not comprehensive, offers a fair......more

Goodreads review by Norman on July 23, 2020

This is a fairly short book but packs a good punch in addressing ten arguments against Christianity today. I actually like its shorter length as this makes it perfect for those who don't have time to wade through a larger volume. It is well argued, logical and coherent and would be a great resource......more
