More and more people today put their faith only in what they can see, experience for themselves or scientifically prove. Anything else is seen as mere conjecture. Since we cannot see God, or prove God's existence with the tools of science, increasingly people decide that God's existence is but one theory among many, and the question of God becomes irrelevant or even non-existent for many people. There is a slow but inexorable move towards agnosticism. God is missing but not missed. In such a secular culture, many Christians feel the need to ponder again age-old questions about God and about Christian faith, and that is what Philip Fogarty sets out to do in this book. How can we reconcile the existence of God with all the suffering in the world? Is the God of the bible nothing but a vengeful God? Who is Jesus? Was he just a good man or was he truly divine? Did he rise from the dead? What do we mean when we say Jesus is the Saviour of the world and is he the only saviour? Has the church a future? Philip Fogarty is a Jesuit priest based in Dublin.
