For instance, the miracles of Christ in the light of physical laws appear to be a practical impossibility at first sight; or the account of the Resurrection if compared with all other historical records could be protested against as being a theory.

Difficulties Resolved

According to ordinary reasoning, these do appear incongruous, but once we accept certain other basic facts Christ's miracles and His Resurrection are Just what we would expect in fact! Christ claimed to be the Son of God, and once we accept this and the fact becomes a premise in our thinking, intellectual barriers are broken down, and difficulties are resolved.

Logic of Christianity

The, Christian faith makes certain assertions about the nature of man and the grace of God in Jesus Christ to redeem, and reinstate man to his true purpose. Reason can voice itself against these basic claims, but once they are accepted the logic of Christian faith begins to take shape. It is little wonder that many people find Christianity incomprehensible, nor that many choose to find it so because of the consequences once they dare to believe it.

The Bible says that if a person is to know abundant and eternal life, he must acknowledge his failure and sin, and in so doing he will discover the love of God in forgiveness, peace and revitalising power.

Man's Needs

Well, are these Bible statements about man's need really preposterous? Surely it is the honest person, the genuine thinker who will realise that they are not, and in his honesty will be able to receive forgiveness and peace from God, and the resolution of his intellectual doubts.

Sceptic

Professor Hallesby, a one-time sceptic in his book "Why I am a Christian" discuss many problems confronting those who doubt and genuinely desire to know the fullness of Christian living.

This will be among the wide selection of books available at the EU bokstall during the visit of Dr. Guinness.
