Crossway, 2021

Many colleges make it difficult for Christians to thrive in their faith especially when professors make it a point to discredit Scripture and the reliability of the Bible. In this work, Michael J. Kruger gives several short, concise, and helpful chapters to address common objections students may hear on their college campuses regarding God and the Bible. Though the title targets college students, this book can equip Christians in every stage of life as it addresses controversial topics such as hell, evil, contradictions in the Bible, homosexuality, and miracles. Christianity is not an unreasonable faith, Scripture is not unreliable, and God is not a barbarian. This book is a useful tool to assure believers of these truths and to help answer opponents in love. You can read this book from cover to cover or you can read each chapter as standalones. Whatever you decide, it is a straightforward and beneficial read.
