Book review: What's So Great About Christianity? by Dinesh D'Souza
Cosner, L. 2008.  JC 22(2):32-35. CELD ID 22171

Abstract
What's so great about Christianity? D'Souza gives this question a book-length answer, exploring Christianity's effect on government, science, philosophy and morality, while answering the objections of atheists along the way. He also gives a warning: most of the West is living on the inheritance of the Christian culture handed down to it by previous generations, bu the secular worldview is slowly eating away at the best things Western culture offers. In a mostly masterful apologetic for Christianity, D'Souza shows that Christianity is intellectually reasonable and produces positive results in the cultures that adopt it, and that atheism is unreasonable and produces worse results than even Christianity gone wrong. However, D'Souza's position on creationism is a major flaw in an otherwise superb resource.
