Justin Brierley's book "Why I’m Still a Christian", offers a compelling exploration of faith and dialogue. Justin engages with a wide range of perspectives, from fundamentalists and Eastern mystics to atheists such as Bart Ehrman, creating a vibrant space for conversation.
I was interested in this book because I enjoy conversations with a diverse spectrum of beliefs and Justin holds a space to have good discussions for genuine learning. In Justin’s worldview as a Christian, intellectual arguments and evidence that God exists and has been revealed in Jesus Christ is something he holds dear. What does faith look like through Christ-focused spectacles? Now that’s an interesting question.
Although I may not be the target audience for this book- my perspective is more inclusive of Christ beyond traditional religious boundaries- I believe this book offers valuable insights to those seeking to explore persuasive arguments. Justin holds the stage for dialogue for individuals to rethink their views and make room for new ways of understanding.
For anyone looking to solidify their faith and engage with differing viewpoints, this book is a good starting point. Having insights into the juxtaposition of Atheist views to believers like Nabeel Qureshi is interesting. I find it enriching to learn how others arrive at their faith or non-faith even when their journey differs from mine.
Navigating the landscape between Christianity and atheism requires openness and a willingness to engage with various beliefs. I hope Justin continues to facilitate meaningful conversations, encouraging others to dive into discussions that broaden our understanding.
