Questioning Christianity by Dan Paterson and Rain Roux | Review

  

In this book, the authors attempt to answer the hard questions that need to asked of Christianity. The first third of the book tells the Christian story, so those who are new or unfamiliar know the context of what will come next. They also ask those already familiar with the Christian story to read with an open mind as if they've never heard it before. The second third of the book explores what it means to live out the Christian life. The final third of the book gives voice to and answers common questions and concerns. 

Personally, the only part I found interesting was the final section, and even that I thought didn't really bring anything new to the table. To be fair though, I am not a new Christian and I've read/reviewed many books like this in the past. For those who are familiar with these types of books, this many not be a very helpful read. However, for those who are new to the faith or those interested in it without much experience, the concepts and questions might be new and helpful.

So, overall, I gave this book 3/5 stars. While it wasn't very helpful for me, I think it can still be useful to others. I would recommend this to new Christians or those questioning/interested in Christianity, but probably not those already familiar with it.
