Know Why You BelieveBy Paul E. Little InterVarsity Press 2000 192 pages
Many events in the news are difficult to explain. Whats even more important than knowing why a crime was committed or a merger sealed is the foundation of what we believe. This knowledge, after all, has eternal implications.
Originally published in 1967, Know Why You Believe was born out of Paul Littles tireless work in hundreds of campuses on five continents as he confronted the bored and intellectual in dorms and frat houses. His 25 years of experience with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship yielded 12 commonly asked questions, and if we think through the answers to the common questions we hear, well know the answers to the right ones, Little writes.
Littles wife, Marie, has overseen this fourth edition, since he was tragically killed in a car accident 24 years ago. She has included study questions that can be used by individuals or groups and added new illustrations from archaeology and science following what she calls the capsulized biblical basics that are Pauls intentional focus.
