Book Reviews of Hard Questions, Real Answers
Book Review: Another solid book by Dr. Craig
Summary: 5 Stars
I honestly give this a 4.5
WLC shows up with a different set of topics in this book.
This is the first time I've ever heard WLC on the topic of Abortion, and Homosexuality.
He brings up a good point, while defending his bible he points out that it isn't homosexuals that the epistles talk bad about, but it is the homosexual behavior that the epistles do not agree with, However Dr. Craig basically states that we should be loving and compassionate with them, they are not our enemies, and I definitely agree with him 100%. I would think that anyone who calls themself a devout Christian would be nice and caring towards all groups, but unfortunetely there are a few outspoken groups that show their hate towards non-straight people and I believe that is not a Christlike characteristic and not only makes Christians look bad, but it causes other Christians to clean up the mess of the hateful Christians. Dr. Craig even states that Jesus never said one bad thing about Homosexuality.
The last topic of the book on religious pluralism was in fact his greatest topic, Dr. Craig goes well into depth on why God does not have everyone on the planet hear the gospel. Dr. Craig also lets us know that he did not come from a religious upbringing (his father didn't become a Christian until 2002), which basically shows a genetic fallacy to anyone who thinks all believers in Christ come from Christian parents. Well if that was the case then why are the converts in countries like China new Christians? Their parents and grandparents weren't allowed to participate in any type of religion and now Asia has more Christians then the U.S.
Great book Dr. Craig!!! I highly suggest this, because it seems like a few of his newer books are pretty much the same style with a few different topics here and there. This book even though it's 8 years old, seems to have many topics that you never hear DR. Craig speak about.
Summary of Hard Questions, Real Answers
Why doesn't God answer my prayers? If God is so powerful,why does evil exist? And if He is so good, why do wesuffer?
Nonbelievers, and even Christians, are often troubled byquestions about suffering, doubt, failure, and unanswered prayer.Yet careful, compassionate answers are hard to find, in partbecause evangelicals have not taken the life of the mind seriouslyenough. The intellectual currents of our day are just too strongfor simplistic responses.
In Hard Questions, Real Answers, William Lane Craigdoesn't offer trite phrases or pat answers-he offers honestinsights gained from a life of study and ministry. Readers in themidst of doubt and confusion will find real answers to theseperplexing questions and learn to stand on the only sure foundationfor hope-God Himself. This expanded new edition includes chapterson abortion and homosexuality to help readers know how to thinkabout these volatile social issues.
