Publisher's summary

Is Christianity obsolete? Can an intelligent, educated person really believe the Bible? Or do the atheists have it right? In his new book, best-selling author Dinesh D'Souza ( What's So Great about America) investigates both Christianity and atheism and their influences on culture to show why there is, indeed, something great about Christianity.

Challenging the assumptions of both believers and doubters, D'Souza demonstrates: how Christianity created the framework for modern science and is compatible with the theory of evolution; how Christianity explains consciousness and free will, which atheists have to deny; and why, against all expectations, Christianity is the fastest-growing religion in the world, while secularism and atheism are on the decline. He argues that, ultimately, you can't have Western civilization without the Christianity that gave it birth.

Better than the Bible

This book helped me gain an understanding of Christianity that I could never quite grasp just by reading the Bible. It has deepened my faith greater than any church service I’ve ever attended. I highly recommend for everyone to read.

Fantastic reasonable defense of Christianity.

This is a very well researched and sound apologetic of Christianity. Every Christian should read it and it is a great resource to give to unbelievers.

Well thought out!

I came to this book skeptical of the author, due to some of his more recent and extreme positions. However, I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book, and it helped me reaffirm my faith by discussing arguments and thoughts that I hadn’t heard in a few over the last 33 years on Sunday morning.

Provides a solid foundation for my gut feelings

Would you listen to What's So Great About Christianity again? Why?

Yes, I plan on listening to this book again and again. It provides the solid foundation that I needed to explain to others why I believe instead of just what I believe.

What other book might you compare What's So Great About Christianity to and why?

Dinesh's books build on each other; approaching multiple topics from different angles, yet always leading back to logic and God.

What about Jeff Riggenbach’s performance did you like?

Jeff is an excellent narrator. I find him easy to listen to for the entire book.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No. I personally need to stop and digest the book in small segments, sometimes repeating a section or chapter before moving on.

Any additional comments?

This book gave me a chance to set my own beliefs on a firmer foundation, share what I believe and why with others, and worship my God in a more meaningful way.

A Must Buy!

This Book is well amazing, if your a Christian or just curious about Christianity this book will feel that knowledge void (i mean there is the Bible too). Also if your like me and a geek for science (never understood why people believe they can't co-exist) this book will help your fortify your faith with the reality of the non-spiritual world. I like many other sometimes feel doubt (don't lie) and this book really helped me Know (as far as you can) that God is real and all around us. Thank you Dinesh for your brilliant mind, your studious research has helped me become a more knowledgeable christian and presented me with arguments to help secular people understand a more tangible God that was evading them previously. Thanks! I love this book.

A fine book

An outstanding book on Christianity without force or preaching. ( not that either is necessarily bad) A look at something all the world knows of but not knows at all.
