"Bob Seidensticker's Cross Examined is a great read on two fronts. You won't find a better book on Christian apologetics and the rebuttals ... and the story is compelling, with a startling climax. Highly recommended."- Paul Gabel, author of Inventing Jesus: The New Testament Narrative as Fiction
In 1906, three men share a destiny forged by a prophecy of destruction. That prophecy comes true with staggering force with the San Francisco earthquake and fire, and young assistant pastor Paul Winston is cast into spiritual darkness when his fiancée is among the dead. Soon Paul finds himself torn between two powerful mentors: the charismatic pastor who rescued him from the street and an eccentric atheist who gradually undercuts Christianity's intellectual foundation.
As he grapples with the shock to love and faith, Paul's past haunts him. He struggles to retain his faith, the redemptive lifesaver that keeps him afloat in a sea of guilt. But the belief that once saved him now threatens to destroy the man he is becoming.
Paul discovers that redemption comes in many forms. A miracle of life. A fall from grace. A friend resurrected. A secret discovered. And maybe, a new path taken. He realizes that religion is too important to let someone else decide it for him. The choice in the end is his-will it be one he can live with?
CROSS EXAMINED challenges the popular intellectual arguments for Christianity and invites the reader to shore them up ... or discard them. Take the journey and see where it leads you.
