"This hopeful and challenging book begins with some of our hardest questions for God and ends with some of God's greatest promises to us. It is a gift to all of us who care enough about our faith to question it."

—Andy Crouch, author of Culture Making

"Christopher J. H. Wright boldly explores the four most difficult subjects Christians will generally face: the problem of evil, the genocide of Joshua, how modern culture can make sense of the cross, and prophecies about the end of the world. In each case, Wright uses his long experience as a theologian/teacher to skillfully and winsomely bring us through the dead-end solutions we often hear and lead us in fruitful and promising directions. This is not a book filled with the usual piety or apologetic drivel so often found in such treatments: it is a tough-minded and courageous wrestling match with profound issues of faith reminiscent of John Stott. Few of us would take on such a task. Wright has not only done it well—but supremely well."

—Gary M. Burge, professor of New Testament, Wheaton College

"It's refreshing to read a book that begins by admitting there is much about God we don't and can't understand, yet doesn't back away from wrestling. Christopher J. H. Wright shepherds the reader into topics about God that perplex and disturb us all and demonstrates how our tough questions are actually pathways to a deeper faith in God."

—Carolyn Custis James, author of The Gospel of Ruth

"[Chris] faces with integrity the problems of biblical interpretation. We must acknowledge both that God has not revealed everything and that much of what he has revealed is not plain. It is because Dr. Wright confronts biblical problems with a combination of honesty and humility that I warmly commend this book."

—John R. W. Stott, author of over 50 books, including Basic Christianity
