Synopsis

Does believing in Christ mean refusing to ask hard questions in the midst of doubt?

Doubt is familiar territory for Lee Strobel, the former atheist and award-winning author of books for skeptics and Christians alike. But he believes that faith and reason go hand in hand, and that Christianity is, in rational terms, a defensible religion.

In this six-session video Bible study (DVD/digital video sold separately), Strobel explores the most common emotional obstacles to faith in Christ, including:

• The natural inclination to wrestle with faith and doubt.
• The troubling presence of evil and suffering in the world.
• The exclusivity of the Christian gospel.

Behind each of these considerations is the question: Can I doubt and still be a Christian?

Through compelling personal stories and expert testimony--combined with discussion and personal reflection cues facilitated by contributor Garry Poole--Christians and spiritual seekers will learn how to overcome these obstacles, deepen their spiritual convictions, and find new confidence that Christianity is a reasonable faith.

Sessions include:

1. The Challenge of Faith
2. Dealing with Doubt
3. Evil and Suffering, Part 1
4. Evil and Suffering, Part 2
5. Why Is Jesus the Only Way to God?
6. The Power of Faith
