Written in a respectful and conversational style, this unique book is designed to promote constructive dialogue and foster mutual understanding between Christians and non-Christians. The author, a skeptic and journalist, asks basic questions about Christian belief. What is the born-again experience? Why would God want to sacrifice his only son for the world? Do miracles really happen? How reliable is the Bible? What is the rapture? Why isn't everyone a Christian? Each question is followed by commentary and analysis that is skeptical and tough but never argumentative or condescending. Christians will find the book useful as a basis for developing their apologetics, while skeptics will welcome Harrison's probing rational analysis of religious claims.

      Harrison (Think: Why You Should Question Everything), himself a skeptic, poses questions here that both skeptics and believing Christians may wish to pursue about Christian beliefs. "This book is not an attack on Christian people," states Harrison, who wishes to help "Christians understand why...the majority of the world is still unconvinced by the basic claims of their religion." Each "simple question" is followed by brief commentary from a skeptical viewpoint. Some questions combat misinterpretations, such as the idea that atheists are evil since some evil dictators were atheists. Other questions such as "Have you read the Bible?" and "Do you know the real Ten Commandments?" reveal the shallowness of modern Christianity and the need for Christians to understand better non-Christian tenets and skepticism and their own beliefs. The insight here into a skeptic's mind compares to theologian Gregory Boyd's Letters from a Skeptic. VERDICT Both Christians and skeptics will enjoy this book for different reasons. Recommended for Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens fans as well as fans of apologetics such as Timothy Keller's Reason for God.--Ray Arnett, Fremont Area Dist. Lib., MI
