This book is a revised and updated edition of the Unbelievable book published in 2017, with a new chapter on deconstruction.
‘Highly readable survey of the reasons for Christian faith.’ – Timothy Keller
Popular radio host and podcaster, Justin Brierley, has been creating and facilitating constructive conversations about faith for more than two decades. He is an expert in Christian apologetics and has had a ringside seat as believers and nonbelievers alike have debated Christianity. Surprisingly, Justin has come out on the other side of these debates more convinced than ever of the truth of Jesus’ claims – and the power of good conversations.
In Why I’m Still a Christian, you get to watch Justin as he engages with the most unlikely of conversation partners – from Richard Dawkins to Philip Pullman – on the subject of faith. You’ll understand why Justin, after hearing the strongest objections to the Christian faith and religion, is still a Christian. For him, God makes sense of human existence, the inherent value of human life, and our ultimate purpose on earth.
With this book, you’ll explore tough questions, with Justin Brierley as your guide:
– Why would God allow suffering?
– Are Christianity and the existence of God compatible with science?
– Is there any evidence for the resurrection?
– And much more.
Discover the reasons to believe.
