Summary
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.

confronting Christianity
although I expected more from this audible, I would like to say I really enjoyed listening to this audible. Author has touched on the most important questions we as humans ask every day of our lives. I also bought the ebook with audible for better understanding and highlight parts of the book. I enjoyed it very much

Tells content Christians what they want to hear
I found it rather shallow and biased. It uses other's theories and anecdotes as argument for truth, and appears to rely in academic language to come across as intelligent and factual.
I am a Christian, but with questions and I found that it drove me away from Christianity by it's blithe and predictable adherence to the most common Christian arguments. It was very unsatisfying. I would caution against those with secure faith, who are excited by hearing their own views expressed academically, thinking that non Christians or people with questions will be convinced by this. The arguments, at least for me, in some cases had the opposite effect

An accessible apologetic book
This is a well thought through apologetic book which address some of the biggest arguments against Christianity - but it's not ivory towered but earthed in reality. It has a refreshing honesty which seeks to open up dialogue on these issues with integrity and the implications of many of the conclusions are contrasted against their outworking in our lives. Christians will find it empowering, sceptics and open minded atheists are likely to find it thought provoking and closed minded atheists will probably just steer well clear of its many challenges to their worldview.

A well worth modern look into why Christianity is more relevant than ever
A much valued listen through. Compelling, fresh and thought-producing book.
If you are willing to listen in to a gifted communicator giving time to unpick some of the common objections thrown in the face of 21st Century Christianity, I think you will find it a valuable listen.
As an already-Jesus-following-Christian you may expect me to say that, but this book covered a number of angles I was less familiar with in a vibrant and easy to follow fashion. I tremendously valued listening to this and found many points I had never considered or did not have an answer to - this book will be my staple for suggesting to inquisitive friends for a good while.

Compelling, calm and helpful
Rebecca’s reading of her own book is calm and compelling and helpful, even when addressing controversial and hard topics.
Rebecca is intellectually rigorous, very biblically literate and is readable for Christians and non-Christians. This book is full of years of thinking and research and yet, explained so helpfully and succinctly for the average person to read. Really recommend.

Concise and Compelling
it's academic, it's personal. This is the best book I've read on the big questions of life, the universe and everything - even better than Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy!! I will be re-reading this immediately!!!

A great journey of exploration.
Thoughtful, challenging and surprising, I found this book lit up paths that I believe most people could follow and find satisfying answers to the questions asked. I was made to feel uncomfortable but then given hope. I thoroughly recommend this to anyone who desires to explore answers to these profound questions.
Very good to have the author reading it herself. This felt like a work of love.

Thank you Rebecca
Very honest and challenging. I'm dyslexic so would not have even tried to read the whole book. It was brilliant ‼️
