Books in the The Big Ten series

The Bible is a cobbled‿together selection of ancient writings that have been changed so many times by so many people over hundreds of years that surely the text can no longer be trusted ‿ right? Certainly, there are plenty of people who take this view. Timothy Paul Jones here addresses the fact that the Bible is a difficult book to believe. It is full of incidents that seem highly improbable, if not impossible. Written for people who are sceptical of its accuracy,and of its authority, this book takes a reasonable look at the claims made about the Bible.

Some people boldly claim, “Christianity is fine for some, but it isn‿t for meâ€?. Others feel it is just outdated and irrelevant. For better or worse, everyone in the Western world has come into contact with Christianity: we all have some opinion on it. James Anderson, with a clear, humorous logic, explores what Christianity really claims, and shows the underlying reason and consistency behind these claims. By the end of Why Should I Believe Christianity?, while you may not agree with the Christian worldview, it is impossible to be left sitting on the fence.
