The attractiveness of God: essays in Christian doctrine

---

Why did Gpd want to make the world at all? He is not concerned about reconciling the book of Genesis with the theory of evolution nor the concept of God as creator with contemporary physics, but with the primal and to him unanswerable question. Why should God have wanted to create? Had this puzzled and peculiarly ineffective priest read the essays which follow in this book he might, in his dim and querolous way, have remarked that, though they discuss a wide variety of questions about Christian doctrine they never attempt to answer the basic and crucial question, Why should anyone want to belive in God at all? This introductory essay, written last but placed first, will attempt to answer this question.
