Questions answered

Steve Hayes has just republished last years e-book of interviews with a number of leading scholars in which they answer the following questions:

1. Have you been a Christian from Childhood?
2. Did you convert to the faith? If so, please describe your experience.
3. Why do you believe in the existence of God?
4. Why do you believe in the inspiration of the Bible?
5. How do you deal with bible criticism?
6. How do you deal with scientific objections to the faith?
7. What other challenges to the faith would you like to comment on?
8. At this stage of your spiritual journey, would you now give different reasons for your faith than when you began your pilgrimage?
9. Looking back over your life as a Christian, how would you say that your faith has evolved over time? How, if at all, does your lived-in faith differ from when you were younger?
10. Unbelievers often point to the elusiveness of God. In your personal experience, including your experience with other Christians, can you point to any examples of God’s providential presence?
11. Since you’ve been a Christian, have you undergone a crisis of faith? If so, how did you work through it?
12. In your observation, why are most unbelievers unbelieving?
13. In your experience, what’s the best way to witness to unbelievers?
14. Christian apologetics tends to settle into certain stereotypical arguments and formulaic emphases. Do you think there are some neglected areas in how apologetics is generally done today?
15. What do Christian parents, pastors, seminary and/or college professors most need to teach our young people to prepare them for the walk of faith?
16. What devotional or apologetic reading would you recommend for further study?
