Reading

I started reading "The Case for Faith" yesterday. What a book. It is a journalist's investigation on whether having faith is possible in light of intellectualism. It starts out with two quotes that show that he is investigating both sides:
Christian theism must be rejected by any person with even a shred of respect for reason. - George H. Smith, atheist
Christian faith is not an irrational leap. Examined objectively, the claims of the Bible are rational propositions well supported by reason and evidence - Charles Colson, Christian
This will prove to be an interesting book. I read the "Case for Christ" by the same author a few years ago, and it undeniably proved to me that if Jesus lived, he could only be the son of God and if He wasn't the Messiah, you cannot look to Him as a great man in history.
