Confronting Christianity: 12 Hard Questions for the World's Largest Religion by Rebecca McLaughlin
1.0
Confronting Christianity is a book that promised to critically attack Christianity then prove that it does in fact hold up under criticism. Instead of all that we got a book that was clearly written by a Christian who cannot properly question their faith, for people of that same mindset. Let me explain.
First of all a few disclaimers: If you are looking for a book that truly gets to the heart of why so many people question Christianity this is not the book. If you are looking for a book that explores the problems with Christianity from an unbiased point of view this is not the book. If you are looking for a book that honestly and critically but from a completely unbiased standpoint, shows you just why Christianity is the way THIS IS NOT THE BOOK.
Rebecca McLaughlin never actually gets to the rout of the questions she presents. In every single chapter she bombards you with information that rarely pertains to the topic. In the entire book you never really get a straight forward answer and even then she flounders in her attempts to justify her convictions. Throughout the entire book it is painfully obvious that the author is a Christian and this is because of the blatant confirmation bias that can be felt throughout the book. This book had a lot of potential that sadly got completely wasted.
Confronting Christianity is an amazing book if all you’re looking to do is confirm the beliefs you already have. However if you need a book that truly tackles Christianity a book that presents a viable argument for Christianity this is not your book.
