Finding Meaning in Our Belief in God
In today’s science-driven, rational world, belief is dismissed as an artefact of a bygone era. But as life grows ever more confusing, contemplating something bigger than ourselves has never been more vital. Ed Stetzer talks with Alister McGrath about his book, Why we Believe and how belief in God provides meaning in the face of existential despair, how it fosters community and offers solace on Ed Stetzer Live.
