Description

Some people boldly claim, “Christianity is fine for some, but it isn’t for me”. Others feel it is just outdated and irrelevant. For better or worse, everyone in the Western world has come into contact with Christianity: we all have some opinion on it.
James Anderson, with a clear, humorous logic, 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.

... The Christian ministry, taken as a whole, must be understood as an apologetic calling. This is why books like Why Should I Believe Christianity? deserve careful reading by pastors and laypeople alike. In this book, believers will find a compelling defense of the Christian worldview and the resources necessary to stand firm in a faithless age.

James Anderson in this very readable book offers clear biblical answers to the basic questions about God's existence, the Bible as divine revelation and Jesus' identity as God and man, the only God-given Saviour. He does so from what would be termed a 'presuppositional' approach - showing that only on the basis of the truthfulness of Christianity can sense be made of any aspect of the world. Christian truth claims 'fit' the way the world is made. He does so, however, in an attractive way that is mercifully free of the jargon and technicalities that too often obscure sound apologetic arguments. He covers the fundamentals well and provides a clear challenge to readers to trust in Christ. It is a book that can be given to interested enquirers with confidence and which will also help to equip Christians for evangelism.

This is a book I wish I had had in the mid-1970s when involved in student evangelism. The author is clear and straightforward, moving through why it is important to believe what is true and consistent with reality. I would happily give it to an unbeliever I had been having serious discussions with, which is, I think, the intended audience. Believers who struggle to find what to say to unbelievers would do well to read this. As well as improving their knowledge and understanding of basic gospel truths, it will give them more confidence when seeking to evangelise.
