Maybe Christianity is actually true. Maybe it is what believers say
it is. But at least two problems make the thoughtful person
hesitate. First, there are so many other options. How could one
possibly make one's way through them to anything like a rational
and confident conclusion? Second, why do so many people choose to
be Christian in the face of so many reasons not to be Christian?
Yes, many people grow up in Christian homes and in societies, but
many more do not. Yet Christianity has become the most popular
religion in the world. Why? This book begins by taking on the
initial challenge as it outlines a process: how to think about
religion in a responsible way, rather than settling for such soft
vagaries as "faith" and "feeling". It then clears away a number of
misunderstandings from the basic story of the Christian religion,
misunderstandings that combine to domesticate this startling
narrative and thus to repel reasonable people who might otherwise
be intrigued. The second half of the book then looks at Christian
commitment positively and negatively. Why do two billion find this
religion to be persuasive, thus making it the most popular
"explanation of everything" in human history? At the same time, how
does Christianity respond to the fact that so many people find it
utterly implausible, especially because so many Christians insist
that theirs is the only way to God and because of the problem of
evil that seems to undercut everything Christianity asserts?
Grounded in scholarship but never ponderous, Can I Believe? refuses
to dodge the hard questions as it welcomes the intelligent inquirer
to give Christianity at least one good look.
