“As God’s people, we are called not to an unquestioning faith, but to a faith that grapples with issues, asks the tough questions and even if there is no answer, remains intellectually honest.” So writes Douglas Jacoby, who probably has never met a question he did not enjoy grappling with. In this book he tackles nearly 150 questions he has been asked in his online column. Included are such questions as:
Why was God going to kill Moses?
How could the people of the Old Testament be saved?
What did Jesus mean when he said you must hate your family?
What was Paul referring to when he spoke of baptism for the dead?
Since God created everything. did he create evil?
In addition Dr. Jacoby includes five longer essays on the trinity, the role of women as described in the New Testament, the Biblical doctrine of hell, the Apocrypha, and instrumental music in the church.
