In addition to his writing, Brierley (The Surprising Rebirth of Belief in God) is a well-known radio host and podcaster who has produced faith-based discussions and debates for decades. His new book is an updated and revised edition of a previous work, Unbelievable, in which he explored fundamental questions of faith such as why God allows suffering, the evidence for Jesus’s existence, issues with atheism, and God’s relationship to human value and purpose. Here, Brierley reexamines these questions thoroughly, presenting reasons to believe in God, not only from traditional perspectives regarding Christian beliefs and scripture but also incorporating personal experiences and counterarguments on the topics. The book features 10 chapters and a notes section, all written in an easily accessible conversational tone.
VERDICT What makes this work different from others in the genre is its balanced approach to demonstrating how faith and belief in God make sense, while examining perspectives from experts with opposing viewpoints. The book’s organizational format makes it easy to follow the complex arguments and effectively highlights the centrality of faith in Christianity. A valuable addition to any library’s religion collection.
