Synopsis

In Reasons to Believe, Scott Hahn, a convert to Catholicism, explains the "how and why" of the Catholic faith--drawing from Scripture, his own struggles and those of other converts, as well as from everyday life and even natural science. Hahn shows that reason and revelation, as well as nature and the supernatural, are not opposed to one another; rather, they offer complementary evidence that God exists. He is someone, and He has a personality, a personal style, that is discernable and knowable. Hahn leads readers to see that God created the universe with a purpose and a form--a form that can be found in the Book of Genesis and that is there when we view the natural world through a microscope, through a telescope, or through our contact lenses. At the heart of the book is Hahn's examination of the ten "Keys to the kingdom"--the characteristics of the Church clearly evident in the Scriptures. As the story of creation discloses, the world is a house that has a Father, a palace where the king is really present. God created the cosmos to be a kingdom, and that kingdom is the universal Church, fully revealed by Jesus Christ.

Goodreads review by Debbie on April 12, 2019

Overall, this book was well reasoned and provided good biblical examples when relevant for supporting arguments for Catholicism vs. other Christian denominations. However, the first part covering arguments for the faith to present to atheists felt too shallow. It could have gone much deeper into mor......more

Goodreads review by David on March 22, 2010

I have wanted to read something by Scott Hahn for a while. For most of his life he was a Presbyterian, even serving as a pastor, before converting to Roman Catholicism. Since then he has written many books on Roman Catholic Christianity. This book is Catholic apologetics and while I am not convinced......more

Goodreads review by Benjamin on April 01, 2022

This was quite an interesting book of Christian apologetics because, contrary to what usually is the purpose of the ones I read - that is, a broader, more scientific, logic-based argument for the existence of an Intelligent Creator in response to atheism's challenges - this one presumed the reader w......more
