We find a name for evil, and a means of forgiveness. We find a basis for saying that all human beings are created equal, and a deep call to love across diversity. In Jesus's world, we find connective tissue between the truths of science and morality. This quote does a great job of summarizing the book and its purpose: I did find it to be very helpful in strengthening my own faith as well as helping me to see more clearly the other side of the argument. Overall, the tone was a bit dry for my tastes. Each includes analogies, personal examples, and lots of footnotes from the Bible and other sources. Each chapter focuses on an issue that can be a stumbling block to accepting Christianity with topics including from "Aren't We Better Off Without Religion," "Doesn't Religion Cause Violence," Doesn't Christianity Denigrate Women," "Isn't Christianity Homophobic," and "How Could a Loving God Allow So Much Suffering?" There are twelve chapters in all.
I found this book to be both edifying and encouraging.
