About the Book

We've all heard the arguments that Christianity is irrelevant, irrational and even immoral. But what if the Christian faith makes sense of all that matters? In this thoughtful, engaging book, Simon Edwards challenges the assumptions that may lead us to reject a faith and doubt something that we've never really had the chance to understand in the first place. From our need for meaning and significance, to our desires for truth, goodness, love and hope, he explores the things that matter to us as human beings and shows us why the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ might just make sense of them all. The Sanity of Belief is a fresh take on apologetics, faith and doubt, that will leave you with a stronger understanding of Christian belief and how it relates to today's world. It is ideal for anyone looking for a clear, down-to-earth introduction to Christianity, or for those wanting to reaffirm the foundations on which their faith is based.

About the Author :
Simon Edwards is a Christian, husband, and father to three kids. Born and raised in Australia, he worked as a lawyer before moving to the UK to study at the OCCA The Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics and later Oxford University. He is now a Senior Tutor at the OCCA and speaks regularly in the UK and abroad at conferences, churches and universities.

Review :
"In The Sanity of Belief, Simon Edwards brings his sharp mind, quick wit and legal training to bear on the question of whether or not there are strong enough reasons to find meaning and hope through Christian faith. Drawing on history, philosophy, literature and more, his rapid-fire ideas come wrapped in a generosity of spirit that leaves you feeling that he'd still be your friend even if you disagreed with every word he said. This is a lively, fresh and thoughtful exploration of Christian belief. Highly recommended." "Anyone who is interested in questions of meaning, significance, goodness, truth, hope, love or suffering will find helpful insights from a fellow traveller in this very readable book. Written by a gifted thinker trained in law and theology, Simon Edwards shares what he has discovered in his own journey, as he has worked through difficult issues head-on, seeking truth based on credible evidence. In the legacy of C. S. Lewis, he speaks to the ordinary person in a humble, respectful and intellectually engaging manner that is a pleasure to read." "Thought-provoking and exciting. This book invites you into a faith that just makes sense." "What's the purpose of life? Where can we find meaning and significance? How can we find hope in the midst of suffering? These are just some of the questions that all of us ask at some point in life, so how do we navigate our way through them and find answers that we can rely on? In this fantastically helpful book, Simon Edwards draws on his own personal story of wrestling with these questions to show why the Christian faith and the message of Jesus offer the most compelling answers to life's deepest questions. Beautifully and engagingly written, well researched, funny, moving and, at times, very personal, The Sanity of Belief shows why the Christian faith truly makes sense. Whether you're a seeker or a sceptic, or simply somebody who wants to follow Socrates' advice and avoid the unexamined life, this book will help you on your quest for not just the truth but also life in all its fullness." "Simon Edwards has done us a great favour in writing The Sanity of Belief. He has drawn from the deep wells of human understanding - science, history, philosophy, Scripture and experience - to bring us something that is both clear and refreshing. His deceptively simple style is a pleasure to read and his wide-ranging case for the sanity of the Christian faith is convincing and satisfying." "Many people believe that Christianity is irrational and irrelevant to real life. Simon Edwards, in his brilliantly written book, shows why this could not be further from the truth. The Sanity of Belief addresses the spiritual questions of this cultural moment in a unique and disarming way that appeals to reason and history as well as to humour and the ups and downs of everyday life. If you are not sure what you believe, this book is for you. If you do, this book is a must-read - and give it to your friends too."
