Publisher Description
It has never been more important to articulate the wonder and enchantment of the Christian message. Yet the traditional approaches of apologetics are often outmoded in an age of profound disenchantment and distraction, unable to meet this pressing need.
This winsome apologetics book for a new generation makes the case that Christianity offers a compelling explanatory framework for making sense of our world. Pastor and writer Gavin Ortlund believes it is essential to appeal not only to the mind but also to the heart and the imagination as we articulate the beauty of the gospel.
Why God Makes Sense in a World That Doesn't reimagines four classical theistic arguments--cosmological, teleological, moral, and Christological--making a cumulative case for God as the best framework for understanding the storied nature of reality. The book suggests that Christian theism can explain such things as the elegance of math, the beauty of music, and the value of love. It is suitable for use in classes yet accessibly written, making it a perfect resource for churches and small groups.

Well-Researched and Filled with Wonder
Wonderful discussion that included math, physics, and philosophy. I was greatly surprised by the level of detail the author went into these topics and even examining the counter arguments and points other may bring against his work. This work was irenic and each point was made without fanfare. There was no hint of triumphalism and yet the arguments were no less convincing. It is clear the author put a great deal of effort into researching the topics he included in the book. One of my new favorites for the appendix and notes alone!
