To believe is to ask.

The faith of Christians,  all too often, is approached  on the basis of “Here it is, take it or leave it.” Frequently, it seems that the mind of the church has been eternally established,  that Chris­tians have all the answers and thus need face no more questions. This book seeks primarily to deal with the questions that any thinking person must raise about the Christian faith.  Here is no flat  description  of  “what  Christians  believe.”  Here,  rather, is a helpful attempt to grapple with the deep and perennial questions which must be faced by every serious person.

Why do some people believe in God? How does God make himself known? What does creation mean?

Is God still alive and well? What is man?

What is sin?

Who is Jesus Christ? What am I to do?

Is there order to life?

What and why is the church? What lies ahead?

Written in everyday language,  this book succeeds remarkably in honestly laying bare the nature of Christian faith. It will broaden and deepen both understanding and experience.
