This does a decent job of what it sets out to do. It gives a quick overview of some (Catholic) Christian arguments against other ideologies.
It is geared toward helping an uneducated believer to start to gain some understanding of some of the defenses of their faith.
As the atheist reviewer stated, this book will not make much difference to someone with a deep knowledge and/or investment in disbelief, but it might be enough to sway a more everyday half-hearted skeptic. But these are the people that Christians are more likely to help see the light anyway.
People who are strongly committed to a certain belief system (or disbelief system) usually need to experience some kind of trauma to shake up their view of the world.
That said, this does lack depth. I am unsure whether this is the writer's fault, or if is just because of the constraints made by the book's short length. |
