Because I Think, I Believe is a unique defense of the Christian world view. It is presented from the perspective of an ordinary lay person, and as such it speaks effectively to ordinary readers. Absent the forbidding rigor of most philosophical treatments of this subject, the book seeks to reason from commonly understood and well-accepted truth step-by-step to the reasons why anyone can see that God exists, what His attributes are, and why He can be understood only in the light of Jesus’ teachings.
Because I Think, I Believe is about the importance of finding trustworthy, fundamental, rock-solid truth in a time of capricious relativism and murky post-modern thinking. It is a readable walk through the logic that leads to a correct, reliable world view.
Most people, including Christians, have never completely thought through
what it is that they believe about the true nature of the reality into
which they are born. Most adopt a belief system about life because it is
taught to them by parents or other significant mentors in their life,
because it is popular among their peers, or because it sounds good to
them and makes them psychologically comfortable.
Even those who see the world in a largely
valid way do so not because they understand the rationality of it, but
because they happened to be taught by others who saw it that way.
Although most people wrongly see the effort
to form a defensible world view as impossibly complex, it
is in fact possible for the average person to think through, and
reason out, the truth about reality.
It is the premise of this book that if a
fair-minded person actually goes through this process, he or she will
reach the point of realizing that the Christian world view represents
the only rational understanding of the way things really are, whether or
not they choose to accept this view for themselves.
The author’s vision for the book is to help
the reader understand that truth is something that you can’t just decide
for yourself; that there are transcendent truths which are
self-validated and therefore depend upon nothing.
The reader will see that no opinion of
mankind, no matter how popular, seemingly reasonable, or apparently well
supported can modify or change these truths in any way.
They are true everywhere, in all cultures
and eras, and they will always remain true.
Readers will also learn that a complete and
logical look at what we know about our environment demands a belief in a
non-physical reality and that it is eminently reasonable to have faith
in what the Creator God has said about those things that we can’t fully
understand or that we can’t prove.
Along the way, the book deals with common
questions and complaints about Christianity, such as the accusation that
God is cruel and apathetic toward us, what Jesus has to do with all
this, why it is illogical to blame Christianity for the deeds of
Christians and Christian institutions, how the world’s cultures have
gotten so many confused views of God, why the bible can be trusted as
true, and others.
