Beyond Slogans and Sermons: Author Examines Why Biblical Truth Deserves a Place in Modern Discourse
NEW HAVEN, Conn., Nov. 10, 2026 — In an age of conflicting headlines, political divisions and competing claims about what is true, where can people turn for answers to life’s biggest questions? In Why Not God? Rethinking Our Beliefs About Truth and Faith, Charles Mastroni makes the case for taking a fresh look at God and the Bible as sources of truth, wisdom and guidance for daily life.
“The Bible explains a lot of things, like where we come from,” Mastroni said. “It is a legitimate source of wisdom. It is a legitimate source of truth, and it is a legitimate source of information for living our lives.”
Drawing from philosophy, everyday reasoning and real-world experience, Mastroni examines common questions about science, hypocrisy and the nature of faith itself from a Christian perspective, while encouraging readers to think critically about the beliefs that shape their lives. His approach is straightforward: Rather than dismissing difficult questions or answering them with religious slogans, he believes faith should be willing to face them.
“Belief in God is often dismissed as outdated, irrational or intellectually dishonest, not because people reject meaning or truth, but because they have never been given thoughtful answers to their honest questions,” Mastroni said.
With relatable language and a touch of humor, Why Not God? explores Christianity, the reliability of the Bible, the resurrection of Jesus, the virgin birth, the formation of basic beliefs, and the question of whether truth is relative or absolute.
Approaching these subjects through the lens of Christian faith, Mastroni asks readers to consider questions such as:
• Is the Bible credible?
• How are basic beliefs formed?
• Is truth relative, or is there such a thing as absolute truth?
• Is evolution believable?
• Can belief in God coexist with reason?
Written for skeptics, seekers and believers alike, Why Not God? presents Christianity as a faith that can be examined rather than simply accepted. Mastroni encourages readers to slow down, ask questions and consider whether belief in God still deserves a place in a thoughtful modern life.
“This is not a book of sermons or slogans,” Mastroni said. “It is a conversation grounded in reason and intellectual integrity.”
