Faith with Reason: Why Christianity Is True

by Joseph R. Farinaccio

Answers Fundamental Questions about "Is faith contrary to reason?" "How can we know for sure that God exists?" "Aren’t Christians who appeal to the Bible to justify their beliefs reasoning in a circle?" "Must we presuppose natural origins for this world?" "Doesn’t the theory of evolution prove the Bible to be wrong?" "Doesn’t the presence of evil in this world disprove the existence of an all-powerful and loving God?" "Do all religions lead to God?" Every belief system contains truth-claims. These truth-claims represent fundamental beliefs about God, man and the cosmos. Such beliefs are at the heart of every one's belief system. FAITH WITH REASON is an introduction to the Christian worldview. Author Joseph Farinaccio contrasts the truth-claims of biblical Christianity with other prominent views of Reality taught in the world today. He examines the nature of religious belief, the relationship between faith and reason, and then discusses the uniqueness of the Christian view of Reality. This book is a valuable resource that may be turned to again and again by readers who really want to understand what is being expressed in both religious and secular belief systems. FAITH WITH REASON is a concise, tightly focused apologetic for the Christian faith that highlights many of the key issues and subjects that will constantly surface in discussions regarding the validity of Christianity’s truth-claims. It serves as a basic primer for both Christians and non-Christians alike to better understand why biblical Christianity is a faith and philosophy of life unlike any other.

[Christopher Goins]

I'm giving this book a 5/5 stars because of it's simplicity, clarity, organization, and its creative way of framing the issues in a way that surprises a "veteran" like myself who has followed Christian apologetic thought for years. The book is so clear that I will use this as the main book for a future Bible study group. It is for newbies and for veterans, who ought to be teachers (Hebrews 5:12) by now, and for those who need a refresher in the topic.

Perhaps, the contents of the book can be summed up in this quote from it: "Philosophical inconsistencies always reside in the heart of unscriptural belief systems." Read this book and learn how.
