Faith & MeaningTheology & Big Questions

Theology & Big Questions

The hard questions — apologetics, science, suffering, other worldviews — held honestly and engaged seriously. Faith that cannot survive examination is not the kind worth having.

Updated July 1, 2025

Chapters — 5

01

Apologetics

Evidence for the existence of God, the resurrection, and the reliability of Scripture.

02

Science & Faith

How Christianity and modern science relate — creation, evolution, and cosmology.

03

The Problem of Suffering

Why suffering exists, how Christianity addresses it, and what it means for faith.

04

Other Worldviews

Understanding Islam, atheism, and Eastern religions well enough to engage them honestly.

05

Difficult Passages

How to engage hard texts in Scripture rather than avoiding them.

Why it matters

Intellectual honesty about faith is not a threat to it — it is what gives it depth. Engaging seriously with hard questions produces a more resilient and considered faith than one that avoids them. Many people lose faith not because the evidence was overwhelming but because their faith was never examined.
