A former atheist, Mark Clark had the gumption and fairness to diligently search out the accusations frequently made against Christianity. In his search he managed, as many before him have, to become a believer instead. He then wrote this book, a compilation of the lessons he regularly teaches other skeptics, and almost as regularly, manages to convert them with.
In this study he answers nearly every question your friends and neighbors might ask and objection they might raise. Science proves the Bible wrong. Christ is just another pagan myth. Christians are hypocrites. The Bible is against sex. Hell is a repulsive doctrine. A benevolent God would not allow all the evil in the world. Plus several others, all of which we often find difficult to answer. Clark gives us persuasive, rational reasons to believe, all derived from copious research, Biblical passages, and pure logic. He does not avoid the difficult, but seems to revel in finding his way out of it.
In all this information he does on only a few occasions (less than you can count on one hand) misuse or take out of context a passage of scripture. It becomes evident in a couple of places which doctrines he firmly believes. But even those are obvious to the well-taught and studied child of God. This is also a good layman's study of evidences.
I recommend The Problem of God for any young Christian especially. You have heard these charges from your friends and teachers. Now you can answer them.
