Publisher's Summary

Religion's decline in the modern world turns out to be a myth.

Christianity is the most widespread global belief system and promises to remain so well into the future. But for many educated Westerners, biblical Christianity is a dangerous idea - challenging some of their deepest beliefs.

Channeling state-of-the-art research, personal stories, and careful biblical study, Confronting Christianity explores 12 questions that keep many of us from considering faith in Christ. Look more closely, McLaughlin argues, and the reality of suffering, the complexity of sexuality, the desire for diversity, the success of science, and other seeming roadblocks to faith become signposts. Jesus becomes not a relic from the ancient world but our modern world's best hope.

Relevant, Thought-Provoking, Respectful

McLaughlin's book addresses issues relevant to today's society as pertaining to Christian beliefs. Her honesty regarding her own life and struggles, the historical outworking of Christianity, and the biblical text rings with integrity and a challenge to reader.

The relevance of the topics tackled in an open, bold, and disarming manner challenges those opposed to Christianity respectfully and thoughtfully. Likewise, I found that I, as a believer in Christ, was challenged in my own "smaller" views of things. McLaughlin's treatment of the scriptures is well-grounded, and her compassion for people is unmistakable.

I liked it but

the homosexuality part is just a huge cope... The author just tried to justify her deep-rooted desire for women by cherry picking verses from the bible to make her feel okay about her choices. The bible is clear about those things but other than that it was very interesting and precise. Much love to all readers and to the author

Wonderfully written.

It was so well thought out and it also moved me deeply. Gave me a lot of hope that trusting Jesus just makes sense!
