What is a Christian? Why is there such a thing as a Christian? Who is God? Who is Jesus Christ? What is faith? Why are there pain, evil, death in the world? These are some of the questions that confront the Christian today.
In this provocative dialogue between a skeptic and a believer, Thomas Howard takes up these and other searching questions. Beginning with “once upon a time,” he tells the story of the Christian faith, and it quickly becomes an exciting narrative of the battle between good and evil for the soul of man.
As the skeptic interrupts, probing with reason and logic, the believer responds with a glowing faith that is irresistible. As the questions get tougher, he refuses to offer pat answers—he speaks only the truth. He defines life, death, sin, love, salvation, redemption, faith as they really are—and always have been. This is a man whose heart and soul, as well as his eyes, are wide open.
In a day when belief is being bent and distorted to appeal to changing tastes, it is especially refreshing to read this dynamic restatement of the foundations of Christian faith.
