Is it reasonable to believe?

Remarkably, even though millions upon millions of us do believe in God, when we are asked why we have such faith, we become tongue-tied and struggle to give a reason for our hope. No wonder those who don't believe God exists remain unconvinced - there's too few of us ready to speak on God's behalf!

Ken Boa and Robert Bowman have provided a resource that tackles the most profound arguments from philosophy, science, sociology, psychology, and history...and presents 20 clear, concise, and compelling pieces of evidence that show that faith in God - and specifically Jesus Christ - is reasonable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Christian Philosophy and Apologetics for Dummies
Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2008

My favorite hobbies are reading philosophy and Christian apologetics, but it's hard to find anyone who enjoys discussing them. Most people really don't care that inductive arguments never lead to certain truth (Kant), or for puzzling out the implications of God having a nature (or not) (Aquinas/Plantiga), etc. My wife and daughter roll their eyes at me before I get 2 sentences out. And if I play devil's advocate and argue (for example) that Stalin and Mao were virtuous saviors of their people, people think I really believe that and keep their children away.

But while I enjoy intellectual puzzles, the core of philosophy and apologetics are questions of utmost practicality and vital importance. Does evil exist? Are any of the following people evil, and why: Hitler, Osama bin Laden, George W Bush, Barack Obama, James Dobson? Is human life morally distinct from animal life? Your philosophical and religious assumptions guide many things you do, from what you serve for supper, to how you vote and whether you have an abortion.

So since I'm a terminal egghead, how can I discuss these vital issues with normal folks who don't care for the jargon or detail? This book is well written and easy, even entertaining, to read; and it lays out a comprehensive framework for reasonable Christian belief. Yes, it leaves things out and relies on intuition when a philosopher would write pages or books of arguments; but it makes solid points which have philosophy and theology books to back them up. I don't know any other book which covers the whole picture as succinctly and readably. So it's Christian Philosophy and Apologetics for Dummies -- a cookbook collection of great arguments for God and Christianity for Normal People. Now the real test -- will my wife and daughter read it?

Sometimes, being a Christian in this world really sucks. Individuals, groups, and the media are constantly belittling you, insulting you, and all but bullying you into renouncing your faith. Even if you can hold your own for a bit, the Achilles heel is: "Can you prove God exists?"

Obviously, we can't. No Christian should make that claim. But what we can do is look at the historical and scientific evidence and try to explain (whether to others or to ourselves) why we believe what we believe.

Not all 20 evidences are truly compelling. (If you reject creationism, for example, those chapters won't do anything for you.) But some of them really are, and for that reason, you might want to pick this book up.

However, be aware: You can show someone all the evidence there is for the historical reliability of the Gospels and the fact that Jesus did indeed live and die on this earth, but you can never convince someone that doesn't want to know. To paraphrase C.S. Lewis, either we will say to God, "thy will be done," or he will say to us, "THY will be done." Happy reading.

If you consider that you are a Christian then you already know that God exists. I didn't read this because I wasn't sure, I read it because I want to know if and when I'm talking to someone who isn't sure or has questions. The worst thing I can say as a Christian is "I don't know." Or even worst (IMO) "Because that's how its' always been."

The author pulls each type of belief, or thinking and explains it. Example: Atheism - No God at All; Pantheism - God is all; Theism: God Made All. He does this with every topic so presents it from all points of view. Bottom line; your beliefs (if any) are in one of the categories.

You have the option to read and review each discussion point and see the evidence presented. This is a great read for anyone who has questions and wants an impartial opinion.

I read books like this in sections everyday. I have time to think about it and make notes. And check the bible for additional infomation.
If you are just starting to study the bible; this is a great tool.

I would consider this book to be a great starting point for studying apologetics (the study and defense of the Divine origin and authority of Christianity). The authors, both strong academics, disseminate large amounts of information, and make it very understandable for anyone who reads this. In addition to this, they offer other books at the end of each chapter, for further study. They also offer a study guide at the end, and very thorough footnotes. This is a book that ALL Christians should read, as it gives a very clear argument for the faith we profess. Additionally, this would make a great book to use as a study guide for a small group. I highly recommend this book!

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting book that tries to compile evidence that God exists
Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2018

I mostly liked the book. It uses good arguments to direct readers towards the conclusion that God exists, and showing how weak is the dominant skepticism of the day, if we think about it. It is a pity that authors embrace such a deeply anti-catholic perspective, especially as they keep talking about “the church”. The final chapters were pretty shocking to me with respect to this. Didn’t protestants engage in wars too? Authors clearly try to claim the good of Christianity to their side and the bad to the Catholics. Can’t be done. They should either start the clock on the day their specific denomination was founded (e.g. 1517), or take everything from the beginning. Otherwise it is cherry picking.

Kenneth Boa and Robert Bowman hit a homerun in this practical apologetic book that everyone can read and gain insight from. Peter the apostle said "Always be prepared to given an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have." (1 Peter 3.5) This book goes a long way towards giving you resource to help you do just that - give a good reason.

This book is comprehensive in breadth, but not excessively deep. That probably is the intent of the authors. They do provide additional reading suggestions, and the supplemental material in the back of the book provides plenty of direction for deeper study. The questions section provides a very useful resource for group study and discussion. All-in-all a very good resource for beginning a study in Apologetics.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting but ultimately fails
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 27, 2015

An interesting read and compared with other books that attempt to present evidence of God's 'existence' it is intelligently written. Unfortunately when read with a logical and sceptical mind the arguments ultimately fail because there are far more plausible explanations. Moreover, as with all such books I've read, the book fails to set out exactly what it means by 'God' and 'existence'. Ultimately people who believe in God for whatever reason have a belief; a faith; and trying to prove existence of something that prevails independently of the human mind is futile. If it were truly possible to show indisputable evidence of something we call God then it would no longer be a belief but a scientific fact. Maybe God and humans are like chickens and eggs - without humans how could there be a God? People have always believed in Gods but looking back over thousands of years the nature of that belief has changed. A better read I would recommend for anyone interested is 'The Case for God' by Karen Armstrong.
