Foreword Review's Annual INDIEFAB Book of the Year Finalist How do
we explain human consciousness? Where do we get our sense of
beauty? Why do we recoil at suffering? Why do we have moral codes
that none of us can meet? Why do we yearn for justice, yet seem
incapable of establishing it? Any philosophy or worldview must make
sense of the world as we actually experience it. We need to explain
how we can discern qualities such as beauty and evil and account
for our practices of morality and law. The complexity of the
contemporary world is sometimes seen as an embarrassment for
Christianity. But law professor David Skeel makes a fresh case for
the plausibility and explanatory power of Christianity. The
Christian faith offers plausible explanations for the central
puzzles of our existence, such as our capacity for idea-making, our
experience of beauty and suffering, and our inability to create a
just social order. When compared with materialism or other sets of
beliefs, Christianity provides a more comprehensive framework for
understanding human life as we actually live it. We need not deny
the complexities of life as we experience it. But the paradoxes of
our existence can lead us to the possibility that the existence of
God could make sense of it all.
