Classic Christian book is revised and updated

Attacks on Christianity are not new; the difference today is the aggressiveness of the attacks and their media attention. Christians need to be armed with an informed defence. John Young’s The Case Against Christ has been providing the ammunition to help since it was first published in 1986. Lord… Help my Unbelief is a completely revised and updated edition of this bestselling classic.

With help from prestigious experts, including Professors Richard Bauckham, John Polkinghorne and David Wilkinson, Young offers a unique blend of accessibility and scholarship to tackle the relationship between Christian belief and science, faith and suffering, the reliability of the Bible, the uniqueness of Jesus, the evidence for his resurrection, and the extent to which we can ‘prove’ the existence of God. The approach is jargon–free and includes some rather good jokes along the way!

The earlier editions of this book have received wide acclaim, including endorsement from Nicky Gumble and Sir Cliff Richard, and it is expected that this edition will achieve similar plaudits.

John Young is an ordained Anglican minister who has worked in parishes, schools and higher education. He has written over 30 books/booklets and around half a million copies of these have been sold. His work has been translated into several languages, including Chinese and Russian. John worked for two Archbishops of York, was for many years a member of the General Synod, and is a Canon Emeritus of York Minster. He has preached in some of Britain’s great cathedrals, including St Paul’s and York Minster, and his sermons appeared regularly in The Times’ annual Book of Best Sermons. He is also a broadcaster and co–founder of
