Humbler Faith, Bigger God, by Samuel Wells

Samuel Wells explores the key tenets of Christian belief by engaging with the most widely used arguments against religious faith—such as claims that it is a crutch for the deluded, a fairy tale for the simple-minded, the cause of many wars, a drug for the poor, powerless against suffering, and just one path among many.

These are serious accusations against Christianity, and Wells takes them seriously. He seeks to understand how and why these views have taken hold, the role the church has played in fostering such resistance, and what better stories it can tell in today's world.

Each chapter presents traditional expressions of Christian beliefs, addresses the arguments against them, and then reinterprets these truths in ways that can inform and shape our lives.
