It argues that faith must engage life’s major questions and offers confidence and evidence for both non-Christians and Christians, including discussion of scientism and the role of revelation.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":45,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/religion-spirituality/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/six-big-questions-wrestling-with-objections-to-the-christian-faith/411627/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/six-big-questions-wrestling-with-objections-to-the-christian-faith/411627.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Muffet","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-11","2026-09-28",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":29},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"Who is this booklet written for?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"It is written for non-Christians who feel frustrated by unanswered hard questions and for Christians who struggle to engage with big questions.","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"How does the booklet respond to the idea that life is just “chance”?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"It challenges the view that people are only genetic and historical accidents, arguing instead that life has meaning and purpose as God’s workmanship.",{"name":119,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":120},"What argument does the booklet make about scientism and the limits of science?",{"text":121,"@type":113},"It argues that science cannot tell us everything because some knowledge depends on evidence handled differently, and it illustrates this with an example that science can describe properties but not the reason something was made.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":124,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":126,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":128,"site_id":62},411627,1791149799,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":131},{"doc_id":128,"user_id":132,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":44,"category_name":45,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":29,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":139,"language":140,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":141,"faqs":142,"seo_title":143,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":144,"read_time":145},962090768927,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_085a072bc5b1113ac321206ff7593b45","Six Big Questions  \nWrestling with objections to the Christian faith  \nDigitized by the Internet Archivein 2019  \nhttps://archive.org/details/sixbigquestionsw0Ohibb  \nSix Big QuestionsWrestling with Objectionsto the Christian Faith  \nJohn Hibberd  \nLead Evangelist with Through Faith Missions  \nContents  \nIntroduction……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………3  \n1 What if You Are Not Here by Chance?……………………………………………………………4  \n2 How Can You Say God Loves Me in a World of Suffering?……………9  \n3 What if Jesus Was Who He Said He Was?…………………………………………………13  \n4 How Does Jesus Make Sense of Life?……………………………………………………………16  \n5 What Does it Mean to be a Christian?…………………………………………………………20  \n6 Do I Have to Go to Church?…………………………………………………………………………………23  \nNotes…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………27  \nChurch Army Supports the Grove Evangelism Series  \nChurch Army trains and equips around 300 evangelists to share faith through words and  \naction in a variety of contexts across the UK and Ireland.You can find more information  \nand films about our work on our website at www.churcharmy.org.uk  \nWilson Carlile Centre, Cavendish Street, Sheffield S3 7RZ Tel:0300 1232113  \nEmail: info@churcharmy.org.uk;Web:www.churcharmy.org.uk;
