A very good book! Having grown up in a Christian home, it was interesting reading a book about my faith in a way that is presented as if the author wasn't a Christian. It takes on the major "questions" of Christianity presented today, and answers each one, one at a time with grace, panache and authority. It is and isn't a stretch to see Mr. D'Souza as this generation's C.S. Lewis - he can speak about Christianity in a very real way, but he doesn't intellectualize the Lewis did, and that is a good thing, lest people who read his work think that he trying to copy or imitate Lewis.

I read a review that Mr. D'Souza got the title wrong - that what is great is Christ, not Christianity. I respect the right of opinion, so here is mine: They are both great, and Mr. D'Souza got the title exactly right. Christianity is the way of knowing Christ, living your life for Christ, and becoming more like Christ. I believe the other reviewer had a problem with the format that Christianity is presented in; that is, the Church. Many people say that they have no problem with God or Christ, but it's the Church or Organized Religion that they have a problem with. Because of people, and the stupid stuff we do, and the mistakes we make, they cannot be part of a Church, or Organized Religion. They are missing the point, that we make mistakes, which is why we need Christ in the first place.

Very good book, for both the Christian, and the non-Christian. (show less)
