"Heresy" presents 10 lies or misrepresentations of the Christian faith. Whether it is the foundational charge that Jesus never existed or the more recent charge that Christians are obsessed with abortion, Coren presents an interesting dialogue and fantastic insight how many of these arguments are baseless. There are too many historical accounts of a person named Jesus to say he never existed. Whether you believe he is the Son of God is a matter of faith.
I appreciated Coren's discussion of choice and the 'heresy' that because bad things happen, and especially to good people, God cannot exist. As Coren eloquently states, 'this reveals a fundamental misunderstanding of God's involvement and intervention in history, and -- again -- of what choice is all about." God is love and for love to be true, choice to love him is essential. Love cannot be forced.
A recommended read. Coren touches the other well known charges (e.g. the Bible supports slavery, the Catholic Church did little to help the Jews during the Holocaust, etc). These charges are either misunderstood or facts are completely ignored in order for the secularist to make his argument. Coren's final chapter is a synopsis of the conservative approach to life and is a well thought out and passionate argument for Christian values in today's society.
