If Christianity is So Good, Why are Christians So Bad? Summary

If Christianity is So Good, Why are Christians So Bad? by Mark Coppenger

It is reasonable to expect that the followers of Jesus Christ would exude the same sort of moral goodness that he did. But what does it mean to be good? What does it mean for the reality of the Christian faith that Christians fail to live up to the standards set by the Bible? Mark Coppenger engages with these questions.

If Christianity is So Good, Why are Christians So Bad? Reviews

This book models concise expression, shrewd logic, clear organization, subtle wit, brutal honesty, graphic illustration, cultural savvy, and charitable characterization of opponents. It answers the title's question as much by showing how to think about the matter as by seeking out best answers.

-- Robert W. Yarbrough (Professor of New Testament, Covenant Theological Seminary, St. Louis, Missouri)

This book doesn't whitewash the bad behaviour of many Christians, but it also offers some helpful insights, theological context, and practical wisdom for how Christians can respond to this important challenge.

-- Sean McDowell (Professor of Christian Apologetics, Biola University, La Mirada, California Best-selling author and popular speaker)

... both answers honest questions about Christians and the Christian faith and serves as an encouragement to any believer who wants to follow Christ more faithfully.

-- Tom Ascol (Pastor, Grace Baptist Church, Cape Coral, Florida)

Christians are supposed to be new people, not just forgiven people; but they still sin, sometimes in scandalous ways. So how should Christians answer this objection, often raised in evangelistic settings? Dr. Mark Coppenger offers a strategy for doing so that is biblical, accessible, honest, and seasoned with wit and wisdom.

-- Thor Masden (Professor of New Testament, Ethics and Philosophy, Midwestern Theological Seminary, Kansas City, Missouri)
