I've heard plenty of Christians try to answer the why question by going back to the what. "You have to believe because Jesus is the Son of God." But that's answering the why with more what. Increasingly we live in a time in which you can't avoid the why question.

But in a post-Christendom society, in the marketplace of ideas, you have to explain why this is true, or people will just dismiss it.Collection: Christian
