The philosopher Blaise Pascal called man "the supreme paradox", because compared to all other creatures, he is both the most magnificent and the most miserable. What did Pascal mean?

Anhand einer Untersuchung von Hebräer 11 zeigt er: So wie das Volk Gottes in der Vergangenheit sind wir heute gefordert, Gott in Schwierigkeiten und trotz einer ungewissen Zukunft zu vertrauen.

Viele Menschen glauben an Gott. Aber kann man beweisen, dass es ihn gibt? Oder müssen wir den Verstand ausschalten und einfach "glauben"? R.C. Sproul widerlegt in diesem Buch gängige Argumente gegen die Existenz Gottes und zeigt: Glaube bedeutet nicht, den Verstand auszuschalten. Logik und Vernunft weisen uns vielmehr auf die Existenz Gottes hin und nehmen uns jede Entschuldigung, nicht an ihn zu glauben.
