Dr. Rasmussen is brilliant. I’m a bare theist and this book was a great foundation (pun intended) into his work on the foundation theory of reality. It’s worth rereading, especially since it’s so condensed. The audiobook is only an hour and a half long, so that made for a pretty digestible overview of the steps. Even so, I don’t feel like he sacrificed a lot of needed content to justify his arguments. I’m looking forward to the longer book, How Reason Can Lead To God.
One of the best arguments I have read for Christ, extremely useful to guide an unbeliever to Christ through logic and reason. This model is strong and firm in its structure, making it a very reliable tool in apologetics.
I did not struggle at at following his argument. I it also seemed to answer possible objections along the way. I would recommend this book to the skeptic who wants a good reason to accept the Christian worldview. the challenge would be to find good reasons to not come to the same conclusion.
