Holding no punches, she went after the tough questions Christianity faces in our time. McLauglin has written a book that I would share with modern Western skeptics of Christianity, and with those newer to the Christian faith, as well as students who are constantly living in a world where many in the educational system have sidelined Christianity as no longer relevant to a healthy functioning society. “It is true, that a little philosophy inclineth man’s mind to atheism but depth in philosophy bringeth men’s minds about to religion.” It wasn’t until a bit further into the book that I realized that, in a way, this quote described McLauglin’s writing itself - she explores a depth of thought that points skeptics and those whose faith has been shipwrecked by modern arguments against Christianity back toward the beauty and intellectual validity of Christian faith. About half-way through her book, McLaughlin references a famous quote from Francis Bacon, the man who established and popularized the scientific method in the 16th century. In Confronting Christianity, Rebecca McLaughlin looks beneath the veneer of twelve of the most popular modern arguments against the validity of Christianity, and exposes the weaknesses of those arguments in a respectful, deeply insightful and warmly personal way.
