Book Review: A Powerful Book for Thinking Christians
Summary: 5 Stars
After about a hundred years of retreat, Christians are finally storming the gates of academia. While this book is not the place to go for the most complete defense of the Gospel from a philosophical perspective, it is an ideal place for thinking Christians to begin preparing for a dive into the fray.
If you are tired of being treated as an intellectual moron by those antagonistic to Christ, this is where you start. It is not a manual on how to take on non-believers, it is a reminder that our Lord is both intellectually viable and spiritually powerful.
One thing I love about Ravi is that he never descends to the level of those who attack him. He answers questions with love and understanding. There are many intellectual "Christians" these days who exude arrogance and legalism. Ravi is not one of them.
My favorite portion of the book is when Ravi outlines the 4 major questions the atheist has difficulty addressing: Origin, Meaning, Morality and Destiny. These four have stayed with me long after my first reading of it.
Another strength of this book is that it is loaded with quotes from a diverse array of sources. Some might say that is not a good thing. But when you are talking about sharing the Gospel with atheists or other non-believers, using the Bible as your only reference is not always effective in argumentation. Ravi uses dozens of examples from the best atheistic minds out there and allows them to be what he hangs his arguments upon. His use of quotes is masterful.
Finally, I produce a weekly podcast called Christian With A Brain and this book has been a source for more than one of my shows. It seems that no matter how often I find other great books, I routinely make my way back to many of the concepts shared here. Enjoy.
