Inhaltsangabe

SEVERAL YEARS AGO, my brother Dan recommended I read Richard E. Simmons’ book, Reflections on the Existence of God. I was intrigued by the book’s brief essays and timely reflections on the climate of our culture. I have been educating students for 44 years and currently teach an apologetics class to tenth graders at The Covenant School in Charlottesville, Virginia. The Reason for God, by Tim Keller, had been my primary text. With the encouragement of several students, who also read Reflections on the Existence of God, I decided it was time to try something new.

During this school year, my tenth-grade classes, the class of 2024, spent time reading and discussing Reflections on the Existence of God. One of their ongoing assignments was to create a list of questions from each section. We were after “essential questions”, ones that cause you to think a bit more deeply and ones that cannot be answered with a simple yes or no. We discussed the text and debated which of the submitted questions were the best. I can’t say that each student contributed at least one question, but each student was a part of the process, for which I am grateful.

I hope you find this study guide helpful. It can be used in a variety of settings―for group and individual study, family worship times, college ministry studies, or as a course curriculum for private and home education. It is also a valuable tool to equip you to engage with skeptics, friends or family struggling with doubt, using thought-provoking questions and conversation. In my classes, I assign a chapter or a smaller section to read for homework. They are to highlight or take notes. I ask for feedback from their reading and then use my questions to engage in a discussion which hopefully leads them into a higher level of thinking and application. I still refer to Tim Keller’s work and several other resources mentioned in this guide.
