This book offers a critical but constructive and sympathetic introduction to CRT written from a perspective rooted in Scripture and Christian theology.

How do we know what is true? Is one faith just as good as another? Trial lawyer Mark Lanier presents the claims made by the world's great religions, discusses their histories, and cross-examines their witnesses (their scriptures and traditions) to determine whether their claims are worthy of belief.
