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. He argues that Christianity's holistic worldview adequately answers fundamental questions about the nature of reality, possesses evidence of design in the universe, and offers a more satisfying and meaningful way of life than other worldviews. 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.
