This book is written for those who might question. It discusses miracles, the death and resurrection of Christ, and the philosophical foundations of faith. The philosophers quoted include Kierkegaard, Wittgenstein, and Hilary Putnam. The tone is meditative and mystical and is viewed by the author as an apology of Christian faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/\/\/www.westbowpress.com\/en\/bookstore\/bookstore\/BookDetail.aspx?BookId=SKU-001261401\" style=\"border-radius:5px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ORDER A COPY<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"199\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/authorwebservices-gem.net\/WestBowPress\/809077\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/cover-flat-199x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-150 size-medium\" srcset=\"https:\/\/authorwebservices-gem.net\/WestBowPress\/809077\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/cover-flat-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/authorwebservices-gem.net\/WestBowPress\/809077\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/cover-flat-679x1024.jpg 679w, https:\/\/authorwebservices-gem.net\/WestBowPress\/809077\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/cover-flat-768x1159.jpg 768w, https:\/\/authorwebservices-gem.net\/WestBowPress\/809077\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/cover-flat.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"background-color:#f5f5f5\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><br><strong>The Author<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Kenneth Cherian has taught religion and philosophy at several colleges and universities.
