Tricky Questions about God is a response to many requests made by Catholic teachers, catechists, and parents for help in answering the tricky and often highly intelligent questions that children and young people ask about their faith. The book begins with four foundational chapters: "Can theology be made simple?," "Why is the Bible important?," "Is faith reasonable?," and "Can expressions of faith change?" It then explores a series of questions like "Who made God?," "If God is almighty, why is there so much suffering?," and "Does God have a plan for me?" Each chapter draws on engaging stories ...
Tricky Questions about God is a response to many requests made by Catholic teachers, catechists, and parents for help in answering the tricky and often highly intelligent questions that children and young people ask about their faith. The book begins with four foundational chapters: "Can theology be made simple?," "Why is the Bible important?," "Is faith reasonable?," and "Can expressions of faith change?" It then explores a series of questions like "Who made God?," "If God is almighty, why is there so much suffering?," and "Does God have a plan for me?" Each chapter draws on engaging stories and examples to illustrate points, as well as summarizing relevant elements of Scripture, Church teaching, and contemporary philosophy and science. While primarily designed as a resource for teachers, the work could also be helpful in RCIA programs, faith formation programs for adults, and identity development programs for lay leaders in Catholic ministries. "Does God Like Being God? addresses directly the 'big questions' that challenge every person of faith. Matching the admirable lightness of touch characteristic of John Honner's response to the questions is the broad and deep theological scholarship that informs those answers. The wonderful result is a book that is engaging, informative, and enlightening, a book that will lead its readers more deeply into the mystery of God." Richard Lennan, Professor of Systematic Theology, Boston College School of Theology and Ministry
