That is what apologetics is all about.

- creation and evolution
- predestination and free will
- miracles
- the problem of evil
- Christ and the resurrection
- the reliability of the Bible
- life after death
- heaven and hell
- salvation and other religions

I therefore can highly recommend the Pocket Handbook of Christian Apologetics to anyone being interested in the important questions about Christianity and the meaning of life. The only precondition is that one uses their intellect. The book proves that the Christian faith is in every way... reasonable.
