One Minute Answers to Skeptics' Top Forty Questions [Paperback]

Charlie H. Campbel (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 2005

Charlie Campbell, the Director of the Always Be Ready Apologetics Ministry, and a frequent guest speaker at churches around the United States tackles skeptics' most popular questions regarding the Christian faith: What evidence do you have that God exists? Hasn't the Bible undergone corruption as it was translated through the centuries? What about those who have never heard about Jesus, will they be condemned to hell? And more. Reading this book will strengthen your faith and help you "always be ready to give a defense" of the Christian faith (1 Peter 3:15). This book is also a great book to give to unbelievers. I hope many seekers will give serious consideration to the thoughts so well expressed in this timely and pithy book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing Responses to Important Questions, July 25, 2008

This review is from: One Minute Answers to Skeptics' Top Forty Questions (Paperback)

This book allegedly provides answers to some common questions that skeptics raise about Christianity. It actually provides the same standard answer: Whatever the Bible says must be so. If you are looking for thoughtful, compelling answers to the questions, you will be very disappointed.

This is a book that I think every Christian should have in his or her library. ANd one they should all be very familiar with.

Charlie does a wonderful job of quickly summarizing the main points in answering skeptics' questions. The answers are clear, insightful, and polite. The last being key in sharing with skeptics.

If you are a Christian and know skeptics that have asked, or are asking questions like, "How do we know the Bible hasn't been corrupted?", or "How can you be sure that Jesus is the only way, aren't there other ways?", or if you yourself are a skeptic then this book is for you.

If you're looking for convincing answers, you're really looking in the wrong place. If you're looking for ice breaker assertions with openings to conversation that could be potentially convincing or otherwise, then this might be up your alley. The answers Campbell gives are unelaborative in nature and the entire book can be read in one sitting; thus "One-Minute Answers to Skeptics." Keep in mind it says "skeptics" and not "non-believers" or "Atheists."

This book is best used, I think, by current theists as a study guide of sorts. The most helpful objective resources are the citations Campbell makes constant note of. The reason I say this is because nobody will be convinced in just a moment of time. If you do truly want answers, you shouldn't expect another quick fix to life with this book. It's not supposed to be and if you make it the extent of your intellectual development, you are really cheating yourself or your friends that you try to give these answers to.

If you buy this book, who ever you are, use it as a study guide and use the citations. You won't get your money's worth otherwise. For what this book is, it is a decent concise compilation of topics that need a more in depth approach in order to gauge the soundness of Campbell's answers and points of view.
