Recently I read an excellent book on modern/postmodern apologetics entitled “The Reason for God” by Timothy Keller. In this book Keller devotes the first half to giving a Biblical defense against many common objections to Christianity by the younger generation, and in the second half he develops arguments for the foundation of major Christian doctrines.
One particular passage in the chapter concerning the inerrancy and infalability of Scripture really made me think. In discussing the fact that many people in the modern world want to dismiss the Bible as an authoratative text because some of its teachings aren’t PC enough, Keller makes the following observation:
“To stay away from Christianity because part of the Bible’s teaching is offensive to you assumes that if there is a God he wouldn’t have any views that upset you. Does that belief make sense?”
…Well, does it?
