What's so Great about Christianity

Examines the assumptions of Christianity and atheism, and argues, among other issues, that Christianity explains what modern science tells us about the universe and our origins better than atheism.
Patty Mondore wrote:In this 348-page response to the charges raised against Christianity, D'Souza takes on such current best sellers as God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything by Christopher Hitchens, The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins, The End of Faith by Sam Harris, and God: The Failed Hypothesis by Victor J. Stenger. [...]And he does it superbly.

What's So Great About Christianity is one of the most thorough apologetics books in defense of the faith that I have read in a long time. I highly recommend it to all honest seekers of truth, and to all believers interested in defending their faith or in answering the current attacks on Christianity in a thoughtful and reasonable way.

I have actually wanted to read that book, but I just know that the countless brain-aneurysms that have been built up in my brain over the years from reading his blog, will instantly pop, and result in me dying of a colossal brain hemorrhage.

I respect you greatly for having read it and surviving. No, really, it's good to stay sharp on Christian apologetic rhetorics, and Dinesh D'Souza is a very slick debater.
