As a pastor I would be keen to see this book put to use in the affirmation and education of the faith of young people on the threshold of facing a world which can easily dismiss and casually undermine faith, as well as with those outside the church who perhaps long to explore Christianity or to expose it to serious scrutiny. This text will undoubtedly serve as an excellent evangelistic resource to be given to, and read with, atheist and agnostic friends, but it will also serve to bolster the faith of flagging Christians, and those who wrestle with honest doubt. There are hard issues and hot topics under examination in 'Confronting Christianity', but never once does the reader feel that the issues are being fudged - either in terms of laying out the nature of the challenges, nor in the answers offered to them. As with any apologetic text, the emphasis throughout is not on one particular tradition or theology, but on the broad claims of evangelical Christianity, and it must be read with this in mind.

Rigorous in research, robust in logic, and personally transparent, the author portrays Christian faith and the Christian church as capable of facing the challenges it faces from thinking people. Rebecca McLaughlin is candid about the patent failures of Christians and Christianity in history, while remaining insistent about the credibility, beauty, and believability of Jesus Christ and his gospel. At the cross, the most powerful man who ever lived submitted to the most brutal death ever died, to save the powerless. 'Confronting Christianity' is a thoroughly researched, beautifully written, and disarmingly honest examination of issues and problems that sincere Christian faith faces.
