About this listen

Religion's decline in the modern world turns out to be a myth.

Christianity is the most widespread global belief system and promises to remain so well into the future. But for many educated Westerners, biblical Christianity is a dangerous idea - challenging some of their deepest beliefs.

Channeling state-of-the-art research, personal stories, and careful biblical study, Confronting Christianity explores 12 questions that keep many of us from considering faith in Christ. Look more closely, McLaughlin argues, and the reality of suffering, the complexity of sexuality, the desire for diversity, the success of science, and other seeming roadblocks to faith become signposts. Jesus becomes not a relic from the ancient world but our modern world's best hope.

Beautifully written! Poigniant testimony of a real believer. Full of the beauty of the person of Christ. Full of real struggles with sin nature and the pain that comes with being a sojourner in this world that is not our true home.
I loved it, I will reccommend this to friends, and probably listen again.

God Glorifying!

Each chapter of the book could itself be an entire three-volume, scholarly work. This fact alone makes the story feel thin in different places, most especially in the later chapters dealing with hell and suffering. Nevertheless, this is an excellent text for Christians who feel intimidated by the secular, modern movements of Western society. Rebecca does an outstanding job of touching so many topics with a deft hand. I'd recommend this to any Christian struggling to articulate the power of Jesus Christ in an increasingly disembodied and pluralistic world.

Wide-ranging, Expansive

McLaughlin managed to cover all the issues I have struggled with over my faith. She provided me with a fresh way of looking at the challenges such as the treatment of women and the problem of evil. I'd still like to know why so many animals had to suffer. It isn't some poor lamb's or dove's fault someone broke one of th 613 OT laws. At least Jesus put an end to all that!

How did she know all my issues with Christianity?

I felt the 12 points and the responses to them were great. I have no serious issue with the contents of the book.
The recording itself could have used a once over before release, as I found a few problems I wish had been addressed. A great example is in the later chapters of the book you can hear subtle unintentional music in the background. Just enough to distract you from the words if listening with headphones.
Rebecca has a great voice though, and I can hear the passion in her voice. I do wish that some of the pauses were lessened.
Over all great book.

Great message, compelling ideals.

This book will answer those questions that keep you from embracing fully the truths of Christianity. It will challenge you to look at facts and deal with them accurately. It will bring you to a crossword. For those that embrace these truth this book will help you correctly communicate the truth to others.

A must read.

A very challenging and engaging listen. What a mind?! What a brave honest soul this woman is. She is a wonder and her work is full of conviction and doubt, basics and revelation. It is at times quite dense and challenging in that sense but I believe it is necessary given the importance of what she has accomplished with this very original and contemporary apologetic. Thank you so much for pouring into this work. It is a very important addition to the genre!

A really thoughtful, well-written, and smart exploration of the heart of Christianity. This addresses key questions for those who are seeking, or for those who wish to understand more about their faith. Definitely recommend.
