A Goodreads user asked Gregory B. Sadler:

(I'm sorry for the size of this question): What is it about the Christian revelation in particular that you find persuasive? In other words, what draws you to Christianity as opposed to, say, a vague form of theism? If you'd rather not answer here, I'd be hugely grateful if you could point me to some sources that played key roles in your decision to embrace Christianity. Thanks so much for all your help!

Gregory B. Sadler Well, it's certainly not one single thing that I could point to -- or summarize in a paragraph. You might say that, in technical language, that for me it's not a question of finding or providing an epistemological foundation. . . .

Probably one of the things that for me made the most impact was spending time with both classic Christian thinkers and some contemporaries who were living it in practice, and seeing how much more fruitful it made their thought and practice. There's much more that could be said about this - but Chesterton articulates something quite similar in his Orthodoxy, and much better put (so it would likely be more interesting to read that!)
