This book is unique in that it serves multiple purposes. While the title is certainly an accurate description of the book, this book so much more than a book of answers to tough bible trivia questions. Rather, this book serves as both a guide to apologetics and a beginner-level systematic theology. Generally, the questions that I get from middle school and high school students that walk into my office fall into one of those two categories - apologetics or systematic theology.The conversation usually begins with, "What does the Bible say about....." and ends with one of many options - abortion, creation, homosexuality, the Trinity, miracles, Jesus' divinity, Bible translations, the reliability of the Bible, politics, heaven and hell, demons and angels, parenting, dating, sex, and many more. This book covers them all in bite sized fashion.I have already recommended this text to the students in my youth group and will continue to point students, new believers, and others to this resource as an excellent way to get answers to tough questions and recommendations on how to explore tough topics further.Norman Geisler is one of the most famous apologists still alive today. He is filled with knowledge, yet has taken some extremely difficult topics and made them understandable. While this is my first experience with the writing of Jason Jimenez, I was impressed with his writing and clarity.One of the things that I really loved as a pastor is the fact that the authors point the reader to multiple resources at the end of each chapter. This book is not exhaustive on any one topic - it is not meant to be so. But the authors do give some great suggestions at the end of each chapter as to how the reader might explore the topic further.
When we are asked a question, do we delight in the process of answering the questioner, or do we take offense to the question posed? How often do we even ponder the nature of these questions? Indeed as I write, I am presenting query after query. We can't help it, but I do believe we ask more questions than we give or perhaps even have answers! In this book, there are posited 100 questions which are undoubtedly life's greatest questions. The challenge is answering these questions. The title of this book is appropriate, and the authors of this book have taken to task the nature of these questions and answered them with scripture. No doubt, many professed believers in Christ will argue over questions about Gods sovereignty, free will, prophecy etc.. The key to writing a book like this is to study the bible with an absolute sense of conviction and reverence for the inerrancy of scripture. In this book, I found the answers to be far more helpful and insightful than many other books tackling these questions. Including many secular and religious literature that propose humanistic answers to life's tough questions. In fact, I haven't even thought of a lot of these questions! Though many will debate scriptural interpretation, it is clear that Jimenez and Geisler have an agenda. It is to equip the Christian with a biblical world view, and to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the world, period. And how to do this? Well why not write a book that investigates the nature of questions such as: "Who made God?" p.(23) Or, "Is abortion murder" p.(203) and to answer them using the greatest book of all time; the bible. I love the constant reference to the bible and staying grounded on biblical principle.
