Christianity for Seekers and Skeptics: Critical Thinking and Passionate Faith

What is the difference between belief and faith? Are science and religion incompatible? How much do we know about Jesus? Why does God keep us so much in the dark? How much can we trust the Bible, especially when the New Testament is two thousand years old and the Old Testament even older? Has Christianity helped or hindered civilization? What about violence in the name of Christ? Why does God allow suffering and tragedy? Does religious faith even make sense? Christianity for Seekers and Skeptics is for those in search of passionate faith that also holds up under careful scrutiny. It is also for Christians who want better to understand the foundations of their faith and how to respond when others challenge it. The author is an award-winning psychologist who has taught at the college and university levels. He has also taught in a doctoral clinical training program at a seminary. This wide-ranging volume reflects decades of multi-disciplinary study. It is a refreshingly honest approach to questions about Christian beliefs and how someone in the twenty-first century can think critically and also have strong faith. This is a no-nonsense presentation of Christianity that tackles the hard questions head-on.
