    About this ebook

    Pastors are privileged to hear questions of faith. These questions often arise from people who engage in critical thinking, value intellectual integrity, and want an authentic conversation regarding their inquiries. S. P. King skillfully engages historical, biblical, and spiritual elements to squarely tackle some of the paramount issues of the Christian faith. Each chapter provides the theological background necessary for a thorough response. The answers are not presented in a manner to sway one's faith in a particular direction, but rather serve as a framework in which beliefs can be objectively examined. With each chapter capable of being a stand-alone resource, the book delivers in-depth but concise narratives on each topic. There are no efforts to indoctrinate, making the book a resounding invitation to explore Christianity in an impartial environment.
