This book is compelling reading, not only because of its intellectual rigor and the fact that it is beautifully written but also because of its honest, empathetic humanity. Readers will find themselves expertly guided on a journey that involves them not only in confronting Christianity but also in confronting themselvestheir worldviews, hopes, fears, failures, and search for identity and satisfactionand, finally, in confronting Christ as the altogether credible source of life as God means it to be.
John C. Lennox, Emeritus Professor of Mathematics, University of Oxford
McLaughlin probes some of the trickiest cultural challenges to Christianity of our day and clearly demonstrates the breadth and richness of a Christian response. Confronting Christianity is well worth reading and pondering.
Tyler J. VanderWeele, John L. Loeb and Frances Lehman Loeb Professor of Epidemiology and Director of the Human Flourishing Program, Harvard University
In the West, many people are persuaded by dominant secular narratives and think they already know what Christianity is about. In this bombshell of a book packed with myth-busting statistics, McLaughlin reveals the many surprises in authentic Christianity.
Peter J. Williams, Principal, Tyndale House, Cambridge; author, Can We Trust the Gospels?
A deep and caring response to current criticisms and confrontations of the Christian faith fills Rebecca McLaughlins book. She speaks from real-life experience of the personal and intellectual challenges we encounter today in considering the claims of Jesus Christ. Her open and faithful answers to serious questions provide not an easy stroll through imagined virtual reality but an adventurous rocky pathway through true and abundant life.
Ian Hutchinson, Professor of Nuclear Science and Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology; author, Can a Scientist Believe in Miracles?
Apologetics with heart, discernment, empathy, and rigorous study. Confronting Christianity will help you understand the hard questions of the Christian faith while also igniting a love for neighbor. McLaughlin doesnt shy away from tough questions about diversity and the nations, as well as slavery and facing Americas past and present. Her answers are not only insightful; they have the potential to transform a heart of stone to a heart of flesh. Take up and read.
Trillia Newbell, author, If God Is For Us; Fear and Faith; and United
Rebecca McLaughlin refuses to duck the biggest challenges to the Christian faith and takes on the hardest questions with empathy, energy, and understanding. She has studied widely, thinks deeply, and argues very persuasively. This is an outstanding resource for the skeptic, the doubter, and anyone who is ready to engage with some compelling thinking.
Sam Allberry, Speaker, Ravi Zacharias International Ministries; author, Is God Anti-Gay? and 7 Myths about Singleness
Rebecca McLaughlins defense of the Christian faith is what all defenses should be: sensitive, smart, and sound. This is apologetics done rightand exactly right for this age in which we live. Confronting Christianity is a book I will draw upon myself and will recommend widely to believers and skeptics alike.
Karen Swallow Prior, author, On Reading Well and Fierce Convictions
Rebecca McLaughlin addresses the most frequent and pressing objections to Christianity in our time with unflinching honesty, rigorous clarity, and deep compassion. This book is written not merely for skeptics but also for those who have suffered much in this sin-sick, destructive world. It is brimming with hope and will surprise youand likely change the way you think about Jesus.
Jon Bloom, Cofounder, Desiring God; author, Not by Sight
What Christianity has to offer the world is bound up in its strangeness. Only a distinctive word can be truly good news in a world like this. In a secularizing age, though, Christianity is often not simply odd to the world but also unexplained and seemingly inexplicable. In this book, Rebecca McLaughlin takes seriously both the Bible and the questions of nonbelievers. If youre a non-Christian and have wondered why Christians think and do as they do, this book will be a good start to exploring those questions. If youre a believer, this book will not only equip you intellectually but also call you to compassion and empathy for your questioning, unbelieving neighbor, as well as prepare you to bear witness to the Light that has come into the world.
Russell Moore, President, The Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention
A fresh voice, arresting arguments, and an easy-to-read style. McLaughlin writes for curious thinkers everywhere and handsomely repays the open-minded reader.
