520			_a"Why should we believe in God? It's a question that has exercised the minds of sceptics and unbelievers for centuries and one that, given the current state of the world, seems more timely than ever. In this wide-ranging an dprovocative defence of Christianity, former lawyer Roy Williams contends that belief should be based on logical deductions from known facts. It is not a matter of blind faith. Using many examples drawn from science, politics, history, sociology and the arts, he tackles all the biggest questions by appealing to evidence and to reason. in doing so, he explains why the Bible remains profoundly relevant to life in the twenty-first century. A recurring theme of the book is the vital place of doubt and uncertainty in God's creation. REbutting the arguments of atheists such as Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins, Williams explores the role of faith, which he considers a much-misunderstood concept. Part reasoned apologia, part testament to Williams's personal journey towards faith, God, Actually will appeal to sceptics and practising Christians alike, and to people of other faiths"--Publisher.
