God’s Problem
Tim Challies reviews Bart Ehrman’s new book God’s Problem. Dr. Ehrman, a once professing Christian who is now a pronounced agnostic, is a New Testament scholar who chairs the Department of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Tim says:
He states, for example, that even many years after leaving the faith, the possibility of hell continues to trouble him and that there are still nights where he wakes up in a cold sweat. He writes as well of how much he misses being able to offer thanks for all the good things in his life. As an agnostic he has no one to whom he can offer thanks and this is clearly a sad void in his life. There is something almost tragic in reading about his life after God.
