Jesus Is Not the Answer to Every Sunday School Question

While reading Ham & Beemer's "Already Gone," author Dan Kreft realized that the Sunday school curriculum that he co-authored was failing to give his students the tools they needed to defend their faith outside of the four walls of the church. Feeling convicted that he was part of the problem of two-thirds of youth deciding to abandon the faith before they even reached high school, Kreft jettisoned his curriculum and started over again. From that point on, he focused intently on teaching his students how to give reasonable answers to reasonable questions and critiques of Christianity. He also became keenly interested in getting parents involved, and to that end began to email a synopsis of each lesson on Sunday to the students' parents on Monday night. These emails became the foundation upon which "'Jesus' Is Not the Answer to Every Sunday School Question" is based.In "Book 2: Who is God?," Kreft addresses in compact and entertaining form the question of God's identity. As one popular theologian aptly put it, "Nearly every single theological heresy stems from a misunderstanding of who God is." Starting from the fundamental notion that the only thing true about God is what He says about Himself, Kreft embarks on a "cookies on the bottom shelf" journey through the scriptures to figure out what God says about seven attributes that He does not share with His creation, followed by a verse-by-verse exposition of the doctrine of the Trinity and why every analogy you've ever heard used to describe the Trinity is fatally flawed. Bringing up the rear is a concise and clear exegesis of the Scriptures which demonstrates that the Holy Spirit is a person and not just an impersonal force.
