About this product

Product Information

Dear Greg, I find your idea of dialoguing about the subject of Christianity very interesting, and I'd be happy to do it. I've got enough time on my hands...You invited me to raise whatever objections come to mind, so I'll jump right in. Here's one I've wondered about a lot: how could an all-powerful and all-loving God allow the church to do so much harm to humanity for so long? Isn't this supposed to be His true church, His representation on earth'...To my mind, this alone is quite enough to prove that the church does not possess any true philosophy...Well, you wanted an objection; you've got one. I look forward to your response... Love always, Dad In Letters from a Skeptic Dr. Gregory Boyd and his father Edward Boyd "debate" many other objections to Christianity, the church, and the Bible. * Why is the world so full of suffering? * Does God know the future? * How can you believe that a man rose from the dead? * Why do you think the Bible is inspired? * Do all non-Christians go to hell? * How can I be holy and sinful at the same time? Greg Boyd initiated this correspondence with his father in the hope that his father would eventually come to know Christ. After three years, 30 letters, and numerous phone calls, Edward K. Boyd did just that. Letters from a Skeptic will help you wrestle with the rational foundation of your own faith. It will also help you know how to share that faith with the skeptics you love.

A Unique Apologetic
Overall a good read for those who want to explore the truth of Christianity. I warn you that it has a substantial amount of profanity and curse words in it. This unusual for a book by a conservative, Christian author. I find it offensive. All in all it is a good book.

There Are Good Answers to Tough Questions
"If God exists and He is all-powerful, why would He allow evil to exist?...allow my mother to die?...send people to Hell?...Isn't the Bible full of contradictions?...How can you believe a man rose from the dead?...Doesn't evolution/random chance explain how we got here?" Lacking good answers to questions like these has caused many people to doubt, or decide God doesn't exist, and/or that Christianity is false. Ed Boyd was just such a person. However, his son, Greg was a professor of Theology. By letter Greg challenged his 70+ year-old dad to share with him all his objections to the Christian faith and give him a chance to answer them. Ed took the challenge, and the book shares with us the 30 or so letters that father and son exchanged. Ed's 29 objections are well-reasoned, and ...

Ed took the challenge, and the book shares with us the 30 or so letters that father and son exchanged. Ed's 29 objections are well-reasoned, and Greg's responses are equally sound, backed by the facts, and are quite thought provoking, leading one to deep reflection, regardless of the present status of one's own faith. Other books like "The Case for Faith", or "The Case For Christ" by Lee Strobel, or "Answers to Tough Questions", or "More than a Carpenter" by Josh McDowell also deal well with these type of questions, but they do so on a more detached academic level. "Letters From a Skeptic" adds a very personal dynamic. These are real people who care deeply about each other, grappling together with questions having eternal significance. Questions everyone would like answers to; questions I believe boil down to this: "Can I believe God is real, and if He is, why is it so hard to believe?" You owe it to yourself to see how Dr. Boyd answers this question, and many other tough questions just like it.

Letters from a Skeptic by Dr. Greg Boyd & Edward Boyd
I had heard about this book from a friend and decided I would like to read it myself. Instead of chapters this book has a question/answer format depicted through letters between a Father and a Son. The father being the non-believer; with plenty of no-holds-barred questions for a son,(a professor of theology), who answered each with truth and honesty, in a very convincing manner. This book of questions and answers cleared up questions that I harbored over the years and just couldn't seem to get a satisfactory answer for. I just wasn't sure where to look for those answers. If you have questions; this book has answers. It is an excellent source/ reference for anyone from a non-believer to a seasoned Christian. We all have questions, and were always looking for answers.

Learn about God in simple language
These are letters written between a father and son as they discuss really tough questions about God, Jesus, the Bible, death and dying, hell, religion, grace and others. The answers are explained in simple language, not a religious, philosophical dialogue. Each question is answered in just a few pages. This is an amazing book to share with someone who doubts the reality of God.
