Confronting Christianity

Rebecca McLaughlin

2/5

"It was okay"

The idea of Confronting Christianity is that McLaughlin will answer the “12 Hardest Questions for the World’s Largest Religion”. If that seems ridiculous on its face to do within a 225-page book, that’s because it is.

Ultimately, the reason I didn’t enjoy this book was because the actual discussion of these issues is somewhat light, and I didn’t find its arguments very compelling. The chapters have too much fluff, mostly in the form of stories; these serve as a “hook” for the author to make a point about the relevant question at hand. That kind of content sells books, and it makes for a lighter read, but it doesn’t help me answer the questions.

No doubt, this book will provide some talking points between Christians and maybe non-Christians, but overall I was left unsatisfied.
