5 out of 5 starsAnswers to tough questions, 2008-10-01
This book written by Josh McDowell, a christian believer, answers many questions that none believers ask, or even believers. The answers are very comprehensive and honest. Leaving the reader more informed, able to work through in their own mind the truth of the answers. I believe a book that should always be recommended to all who ask such questions.Suitable for church groups, young people, people who want to reach their unbelieving family members and friends. Josh Mcdowell himself asked these questions before and after his conversion I understand.

As a 22 year old College Student it may not be fair to be reviewing this book 28 years after it was published. I am sure that for its time this was a very valuable resource. However, that being said this book is no longer one of the books I would recommend as a must read even for beginners in apologetics. Books such as Lee Strobels Case for Christ and Case for Faith have more up to date information dealing with some of the same questions.
In this book Josh McDowell and Don Stewart try to answer 61 of the most asked questions about the Christian faith. This is the first book that I have read that tries to tackle such a broad category of questions. They discuss reliability of the scriptures, archaeological evidence, creation and evolution, Miracles, world religions, and the list goes on and on. Its very hard to answer so many questions on so many topics well.
Some of the good things that this book does have is that many times as Christians we have a lot of questions we would like to have better answers to. Even those of us who hope to make the defense of the faith our profession, tend to have to focus on one area of study. This book does provide some decent answers to a few of the questions that one may not want to devote a lot of time researching. However, the age of this book makes me hesitant to rely on it too hevily because some of the information is outdated. Over all 3 stars. Not terrible and not great.

This book was just OK to me. A "mini" pocket book with questions that the author finds answers to in the Bible to fit his belief, not necessarily with anything else to back it up. Don't get me wrong, I'm a Christian, I love many of his other books but this one, unlike his others that give Biblical as well as scientific answers, this one skips the scientific back up.
I'd pass on this one unless you can check it out of the library.

This book has been in my Chrisitan library since its original publication. A helpful tool for believers, in an increasingly corrupt world of doubters and mockers of God's Word.

4 out of 5 starsUseful and insightful, 2006-07-11
I enjoyed the book. It addressed a lot of things I had never considered- or noticed, and a lot of the things I had wondered about - for example. Jesus died on a Friday and rose again on Sunday, how is that three days! It's an issue that many Christians/churches have.

I think this book was a very good read. Not something I'll read over and over again, but something I will return to from time to time. It talked about "inconsistencies" in the Bible, that a non-believer or a new believer might throw at you.

I do believe the best way to understand the Bible is to read it yourself, as another reviewer said, and Josh helps with that by giving LOTS of scriptual basis for his answers.
I would probably recommend it more to a non-beliver or a new beliver, while many strong Christinas might find it useful - they might also know the answers to many of the questions.
