Summary:

Maybe Christianity is actually true. Maybe it is what believers say it is. But at least two problems make the thoughtful person hesitate. First, there are so many other options. How could one possibly make one's way through them to anything like a rational and confident conclusion? Second, why do so many people choose to be Christian in the face of so many reasons not to be Christian? Yes, many people grow up in Christian homes and in societies, but many more do not. Yet Christianity has become the most popular religion in the world. Why? Grounded in scholarship but never ponderous, 'Can You Believe?' refuses to dodge the hard questions as it welcomes the intelligent inquirer to give Christianity at least one good look.
