Belief in the Face of Doubt Stephen Howe

Can Christianity survive the challenges of modern science and reason? How can there be so much evil and suffering in God's Creation? Can we trust the biblical accounts of Jesus' life? Can Scripture and modern science be reconciled? Challenges like these make it difficult to sustain cherished Christian beliefs against modern skepticism. In Belief in the Face of Doubt, readers will find a valuable resource in coping with challenges posed by others, and doubts in their own thinking. Each chapter addresses one of twelve frequently asked questions, providing in each case a range of contrasting perspectives rather than a simple formula. Readers thus attain deeper, broader understanding of the most perplexing issues faced by Christians today. The central beliefs of Christianity often encounter skepticism in this modern world of science and reason. Christians who find themselves defending their beliefs, or struggling with their own doubts, will find this book to be an extremely valuable resource. It provides a wealth of insight on the toughest questions, drawn from great Christian thinkers of all eras. The best insights of the heavy hitters are thus made accessible to the lay Christian, in a form that addresses their issues and concerns. Belief in the Face of Doubt is a must read for the thinking Christian.
