Three of the most
difficult questions for Christians involve hell, judgment, and holy
war. Does God send people to hell because he likes to torture them?
Does God's judgment mean that most of us, even people who have never
heard of Jesus, will not be saved? Why does God allow so much
violence on earth?
These are tough
questions, and I suspect that most of us have pondered them. What
they boil down to is: If God is a loving God, how can the things the
Bible tells us about him be true? In this book, Butler takes a hard look at these questions and using the Bible and
other sources presents well reasoned arguments for why God is good, and the negatives we fear are not real.
This is a very
helpful book. It's well written and draws you into Butler's
arguments. He uses episodes from his own life and his questioning of
the gospel to make his arguments easily understandable. His style
makes the reader feel comfortable with having doubts. It shows him
that he is in good company,
and that his faith can be strengthened by
wrestling with the hard questions.
I enjoyed this book.
If you are having doubts about Christianity, this is an excellent
book. The arguments are presented clearly there is no talking down to
people who are not clergy. I highly recommend it.
I reviewed this book
for BookLook Bloggers.
