Why God Makes Sense in a World That Doesn`t - The Beauty of Christian Theism Summary

Why God Makes Sense in a World That Doesn`t - The Beauty of Christian Theism by Gavin Ortlund

Outreach 2022 Resource of the Year (Apologetics) 2021 Book Award Winner, The Gospel Coalition (Evangelism & Apologetics) Christianity Today 2022 Book Award Finalist (Apologetics & Evangelism) Southwestern Journal of Theology 2021 Book of the Year Award (Honorable Mention, Christian Worldview/Apologetics) It has never been more important to articulate the wonder and enchantment of the Christian message. Yet the traditional approaches of apologetics are often outmoded in an age of profound disenchantment and distraction, unable to meet this pressing need. This winsome apologetics book for a new generation makes the case that Christianity offers a compelling explanatory framework for making sense of our world. Pastor and writer Gavin Ortlund believes it is essential to appeal not only to the mind but also to the heart and the imagination as we articulate the beauty of the gospel. Why God Makes Sense in a World That Doesn't reimagines four classical theistic arguments--cosmological, teleological, moral, and Christological--making a cumulative case for God as the best framework for understanding the storied nature of reality. The book suggests that Christian theism can explain such things as the elegance of math, the beauty of music, and the value of love. It is suitable for use in classes yet accessibly written, making it a perfect resource for churches and small groups.
