Commentary on D. James Kennedy’s book Why I Believe
“Anachronist”
D. James Kennedy is the founder of Coral Ridge Ministries in Florida. A television show exists by the same name, although I have not seen it. Dr. Kennedy is an evangelical Christian who has written several books, including Evangelism Explosion and Why I Believe. The latter book was given to me by a friend in an effort to explain to me her reasons for holding to her faith.
Why I Believe is a concise, easy-to-read book containing most of the typical Christian arguments about the subjects below, in one convenient place – making it an excellent instrument for use as a jumping-off point for critical and honest commentaries on these subjects.
Chapter 1. Why I Believe in the Bible
Chapter 3. Why I Believe in God
Chapter 4. Why I Believe in Creation
Chapters 5-6. Why I Believe in Heaven/ Hell
Chapter 7. Why I Believe in Moral Absolutes
