Could the story of Christianity really be true? How do we make sense of suffering if so?

Dan Paterson is the author of 'Questioning Christianity', which seeks to make sense of Christianity to skeptics and doubters. He engages with Dean Mayes who was an atheist, but whose intellectual journey and work as a nurse in intensive care have caused him to reconsider Christianity in recent years.

In this show from Aug 2011 we met Rebekah Bennetch who lives in Saskatoon, Canada.  She grew up in a strong Christian family. But in 2007  "came out" as an atheist. Sheridan Voysey is a writer, speaker and broadcaster on contemporary spirituality. They discussed what led Rebekah to abandon her faith, how Christians can best treat their "apostate" friends and family, and what lessons can be learnt for fruitful dialogue between believers and atheists.
