Stan Sorensen's Reviews > Letters from a Skeptic: A Son Wrestles with His Father's Questions about Christianity

A reasonable defense of Christianity from an evidentialist viewpoint with a rosey view that man's reason is capable of arriving at the truth of the Bible and Christian truths. It subsumes everything under God's love to give man freedom to do evil. Constantly pokes at the straw man of "fundamentalist" views which hardly exist in evangelical circles today. I suppose this is to paliate his skeptical father and others who despise more conservative views. My greatest concern is with Boyd's open theistic view that God doesn't know all things and the future is contingent on man's choices! See especially pp. 41-43. Also proposes some of Ron Sider's views that world hunger is due to certain people hoarding all the world's resources and the best way to alleviate that is to redistribute the food. As someone who has spent 35 years in Africa I see this as a naive and impossible way to alleviate hunger and poverty.
