Contents

For the rest of this year, we will be going through a book called Why Believe by Neil Shenvi.

"For centuries, skeptics have disputed the claims of Christianity―such as belief in an eternal God and the resurrection of Jesus Christ―arguing that they simply cannot be accepted by reasonable individuals. Furthermore, efforts to demonstrate the evidence and rational basis for Christianity through apologetics are often deemed too simplistic to be taken seriously in intellectual circles."

Each week, we will be going over the homework assignments, review the chapter contents, and then participate in a group discussion / activity.

Resources

If you need a copy of the book, you may purchase it by yourself here or purchase the book in person for $10.  An audiobook is also available for those who prefer listening!
