What an interesting concept. As soon as I saw the title of this book I knew I had to buy it. It did not disappoint. What Peter does well is show some of the logical questions that one should be asking about Christianity. This is what deductive reasoning is all about. And yes, you can have logic and Christianity. Don’t listen to people who think that those two things are diametrically opposed. Also, I think Peter does an excellent job of emulating the language and style of Socrates. So it could also be used as a lesson or as a refresher in the Socratic method of rationalization.
The only “problem” with this book, if you can call it that, is that it it has a very specific target audience that it is written for. Even though I believe that even a non-Christian would get something from reading this book, I know there are plenty of people who wouldn’t even give it a chance. Now, I’m not going to mark it down for that. Because you can say that about any book. However, I can understand how those who don’t believe in Christianity would find a lot of his conclusions quite spurious.
All that being said, this book has two very important things that I feel are very poorly understood in the country. Namely religion and logic. Therefore, I feel it would behoove everyone to read it. Christian or not. Overall, it is well written, easy to understand, and quite a quick read. I highly recommend it. Especially if you’re a Christian or have an interest in Christianity.
5/5
This book and the 4 Fs
Faith - This book is excellent at showcasing the two foundations that the values of this country were founded on. Judeo-Christian values and Greek Ideas.
