We’ve all heard the arguments that Christianity is irrelevant, irrational and even immoral. But what if the Christian faith makes sense of all that matters?

In this thoughtful, engaging book, Simon Edwards challenges the assumptions that may lead us to reject a faith and doubt something that we’ve never really had the chance to understand in the first place. From our need for meaning and significance, to our desires for truth, goodness, love and hope, he explores the things that matter to us as human beings and shows us why the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ might just make sense of them all.

The Sanity of Belief is a fresh take on apologetics, faith and doubt, that will leave you with a stronger understanding of Christian belief and how it relates to today’s world. It is ideal for anyone looking for a clear, down-to-earth introduction to Christianity, or for those wanting to reaffirm the foundations on which their faith is based.

Introduction

Part 1: The Things That Matter

1 The matter of meaning: What on earth gives my life meaning?

2 The matter of value: What makes me special in a world of seven billion?

3 The matter of goodness: Why do the right thing when it's not the easy thing?

4 The matter of truth: Does truth exist, and does it matter?

5 The matter of love: Is there a love that will never let me down?

6 The matter of suffering: Where can I find hope in the midst of my pain?

Part 2: Weighing Up the Evidence

7 Thinking faith: When does belief make sense?

8 The evidence is around us: Here by accident or on purpose?

9 The evidence within us: Why do I believe some things are wrong?

10 The evidence of history: Is the Jesus story fact or fiction?
