The purpose of this collection is to make available in a compact, convenient form some plain biblical answers to the sort of questions which are commonly voiced by people today, both in the church and on the fringe. Most of the questions dealt with are big ones and raise all sorts of issues. It is clear that within the limits laid down (roughly 1,000 words for each answer) the writers are not able to deal with the questions completely or adequately. Nor do they make any pretense of doing so. All they attempt here is to face the questions honestly and sympathetically in the light of modern trends of thought, to indicate the general lines of approach from a Christian viewpoint and to stimulate further thought and inquiry on the part of the reader. - Editor's preface.
