"Christianity is logical and reasonable, but it's not merely logical and reasonable ... Christian apologist Brian Godawa looks beyond the roughly 30 percent of the Bible that is made up of laws and propositional truth, to the rich imagery and startling storytelling that make up the vast majority of the Bible. It's in this mix of symbol, narrative, lawy and logic that God compels, encourages and instructs us, and we come to know and love God with our whole selves"--Page 4 of cover.
