"I tried to read this with an open mind, but the lack of any sort of rational argument is making this very difficult. This book should be renamed "The Case for Faith (if you already have plenty of it)". Maybe I was wrong in going into this book thinking it was justifications for everyone and not just those who already have faith. Because if you don't already have faith, this book makes zero valid points and just frustrates any analytical reader with non-existant logic, false sincerity and a lot of circle-jerking.
On the killing of the Egyptian firstborns: ...technically nobody is truly innocent. The Bible says in Psalm 51 that we're all born in sin... - So, if you believe in the Bible, then the Bible is justified, no circular reasoning here.
On the resurrection of Jesus: Now, I would agree with hume that natural resurrection of Jesus from the dead, without any sort of divine intervention, is enormously imporbable. But that's not the hypothesis. The hypothesis is God raised Jesus from the dead. That doesn't say anything against the laws of nature, which say dead men don't come back to life naturally. - As long as you seperate God from natural laws, and sort of miracle becomes believable... well no S#@T - this is considered a valid argument?! Apparently, because it was the 'argument' that ended the discussion; case closed I guess."
"Incredibly bad. The setup is that Strobel is a skeptic of sorts, looking to be convinced. (I don't believe that premise for a minute.) He interviews various people who are supposed to answer the "big questions," like why a benevolent God would allow evil.
I'm only a few chapters in, but already, the answers are trite, and disappoint, and the writing has a tent-revival feel to it that is off-putting. Assuming I manage to finish the book, I'll write a more detailed review."
