Is Christianity defensible? Isn't it a backward religion based on primitive ideas that have no place in today's world? Isn't the Bible hopelessly out of date? And yet Christians insist on forcing their morality on other people!
Worst of all, isn't Christianity responsible for so much pain and suffering in the world--from destroying native cultures to suppressing women to causing the ecological crisis? How can anyone take seriously a religion that is promoted by sleazy televangelists and that once sponsored the Crusades?
These are honest questions that deserve straightforward answers. Separating the beliefs and actions of some Christian from true Christianity can be difficult. In this readable introduction to apologetics, Dale and Sandy Larsen answer the skeptics' common charges. They go below the surface issues and see how these perceptions and problems developed historically. Then they go back to the Bible for the full story, beyond myths and misconceptions to the reality that brings freedom.
