What's so great about Christianity / Dinesh D'Souza.

What is so great about Christianity (other title)

D'Souza, Dinesh, 1961- (Author).

Summary:

"Is Christianity obsolete? Can an intelligent, educated person really believe the Bible? Or do the atheists have it right? Has Christianity been disproven by science, debunked as a force for good, and discredited as a guide to morality? ...author Dinesh D'Souza (What's So Great About America) looks at Christianity with a questioning eye, but treats atheists with equal skepticism. The result is a book that will challenge the assumptions of both believers and doubters and affirm that there really is, indeed, something great about Christianity..."--Jacket.
