Synopsis

What does it take to live a meaningful life? Why are so many people in affluent nations so anxious and unhappy? What difference does believing in God really make? And does belief in the God of the Bible truly make sense today?

In this revised edition of The God Question, philosopher J. P. Moreland invites us on a journey to a rich, flourishing life. He digs into the causes of our cultural crisis of unhappiness and considers how the God revealed in Jesus provides the most rational solution to our deepest needs. With special sensitivity to skeptics, seekers, and Christians who are disenchanted with their faith, he helps us see the Christian story—its reasonableness and its relevance—in fresh ways.

For anyone wrestling with big questions about life and faith, Moreland provides insight from his many years of philosophical studies and his own experience as a Christian. Filled with personal stories, this book explores evidence for the existence of God, the reliability of the Gospels, essentials of a flourishing Christian life, the reality of miracles, and more. This edition also features a new section on overcoming anxiety and depression. Wherever you are on your journey, The God Question will help you see anew what difference Jesus makes in a human life.

Goodreads review by Sam on January 29, 2022

3 causes for epidemic of anxiety/depression: pace of modern life, loss of sense of community, deep connectedness with others beyond superficial, and emergence of moral relativism. It takes a lot of mental and emotional energy to stuff our problems and manage anxiety by the hurry and worry strategy.......more

Goodreads review by Dave on December 09, 2023

Felt like a blast from the past for anyone who grew up in the world of Christian culture of the 70s, 80s and 90s. Just with a greater commitment to philosophical integrity. It represented a fascinating mix for me personally, as the strength of Morelands larger body of work on philopshical grounds ge......more

Goodreads review by Ian on December 24, 2021

Overall this is a good book, helpful in its apologetic approach to the Christian faith. The section on hell near the end, in my opinion, puts too much emphasis on man’s free will to the point of constraining God in His options for the created world. This left a sour taste in my mouth, wondering why......more

Goodreads review by Stinger on December 13, 2012

I really enjoyed this book by Dr. Moreland. I felt I was being taught by a warm, encouraging spiritual father. The arguments for the existence of God were nothing new to me, but I loved all the practical insight into the kingdom life that he provided. The warnings about spiritual warfare were immedi......more
