Why I Am Still a Christian (Part 2)

Individual TopicsSteve Gregg
In this piece, Steve Gregg outlines five reasons why he remains a Christian despite criticisms of the faith.

Additionally, he cites personal experience as reinforcing his conviction in the faith. Overall, Gregg's reasons for remaining a Christian are rooted in a belief that Christianity provides satisfactory answers to existential questions and offers a fulfilling way of life.
