Beschreibungen
Does life have meaning, purpose and value? Can we know whether God exists? If he does, why does he allow bad things to happen? How can we make sense of death, and what lies beyond it? And how can we live life well during a personal, national, or global crisis?
Human beings have always asked these big questions. However, crises like the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2007-2008 financial collapse, or the War on Terror following the 9/11 attacks, make them seem more urgent and harder to avoid.
This short book is an accessible introduction to these questions. It makes no assumptions about the reader's beliefs but is written for anyone who wants to understand how Christian ideas can help make sense of life and live it well during difficult times.
Each chapter is illustrated with examples from the lives of a wide range of people over time, as well as stories from films, novels, and music, to help the reader think through these weighty issues in an engaging way.

In this brilliantly written book, Nick Megoran takes an honest look at these questions and helps show the light that the message of Jesus can shed upon them. In a marketplace crowded with superficial sound-bite answers, Nick writes with clarity, conviction, and conciseness. Whether you’re a seeker or a sceptic,
<i>Big Questions in an Age of Global Crises</i> will help you on your quest.”
