This is an Apologetics book, meaning that it poses arguments for Christ in ways that people without faith can understand. I love these books and think that they are fascinating! One fact that I always hear is that The Bible has so many more transcripts of it made with much less time passing than other famous pieces of work, like some written by Julius Caesar, that no one questions the authenticity of.
I enjoy this book and plan to keep on reading it. It's always amazing to hear how much more evidence there is for Christ than for against. So far, I have read the chapters with proof for Jesus, for the authenticity of the Bible, and for God existing and being in control of World. I appreciate that this book doesn't just give evidence for these things, but also provides commentary on other common world viewpoints and how they are alike and different.
Final Reflection-
You've probably noticed that I transitioned from reading a variety of sources to just reading The Bible and religious commentaries in the last few weeks. I attribute this to my lack of time for my own personal devotions due to my Master's work. I've always felt the need to read The Bible all the way through, and until that happens, I'll find it hard to read much else for pleasure. With that said, I do still read quite a few news articles and still enjoy more anecdotal, quick reads. While I consider myself a reader for educational and newsworthy items, I just struggle to sit down long enough to read a whole book of fiction. It's just not in my nature! I'd rather read for information than for entertainment, or rather, I like to read for information and entertainment at the same time. With all that said, I've appreciated this assignment because it has forced me to sit down and read a few books that I hadn't touched, but that were on my bookshelves. I did enjoy my reading time and perhaps when things slow down a little more, I'll pick up some of these books again.
