You Can Lead an Atheist to Evidence but You Can't Make Him Think


Ray Comfort's book, You Can Lead an Atheist to Evidence but You Can't Make Him Think was somewhat similar to Timothy Keller's book, The Reason for God, in that its intended audience is atheists and skeptics. It's a very short book and a quick read, but the tone is not as gentle or friendly as Mr. Keller's book.

The book is a series of questions and accusations emailed to Mr. Comfort and answered by him. The subtitle is "Answers to Questions from Angry Skeptics" and the language is definitely angry. This book is very in-your-face.

While it might be helpful for a Christian to learn what sort of arguments he might hear from an atheist friend or co-worker, some might not be comfortable responding in the same way as Mr. Comfort. For a gentler, kinder, but still strong and sound response, I'd recommend Timothy Keller's book.
