Self-help β¦ Penny’s Take
A Reasonable Christian Faith
Daniel Ralph Kern Β· 2022
68/100
π Skip It
Kern approaches apologetics with genuine philosophical training and a stated commitment to being humane rather than combative, which sets this apart from more defensive works in the genre. The coverage of suffering, the nature of God, and contemporary ethics gives it range, and the Wipf and Stock imprint signals credentialed theological publishing. Readers outside the target audience of thoughtful, college-educated Christians will find little traction, and the LGBTQ discussion will divide even within that audience.
