Unanswered is a brilliant showcase of Dr. Johnston's tremendous
mind and, more importantly, his love for people and the church. In
it, he tackles some of Christianity's toughest questions and gives
readers, believers and nonbelievers alike, the answers they've
sought. He is one of the brightest minds of our generation and I
cannot recommend Unanswered more highly.

California, Author, The Church That Never Sleeps
"You have not because you ask not," said New Testament writer,
James. "Your questions are not answered because you've not yet read
Unanswered, " said...me! In this fresh, intelligent book, Dr.
Jeremiah Johnston (don't let the "Dr." scare you; he writes in
plain English) gives great responses to some of the most daunting
spiritual questions we're all curious about. My advice: 1.) Get
this book (seriously, how many books do you know of that smartly
discuss both the veracity of the Bible and vampires?); 2.) Read
this book right away (it's too important to put in the stack with
all the other ones you want to read "some day"); 3.) Give copies of
this book to people you know (some of whom are just a few good
answers away from a confident faith in Christ).
--Mark Mittelberg, Best-selling author of The Questions Christians
Hope No One Will Ask and Confident Faith, Executive Director, The
Center for American Evangelism
Dr. Johnston loves the truth and he loves people. In Unanswered,
both come through clearly. He writes and communicates as a scholar
with a keen mind, but also as a pastor with a compassionate heart.
By God's grace, Unanswered will "teach Christians to become
thinkers and thinkers to become Christians."
--Eric Geiger, Vice President, LifeWay Christian Resources
I commend to you this new and vastly important work. Having
pastored and ministered for over three decades, I have found the
questions upon which Johnston focuses to be real life points of
concern. Combining Scripture, common sense, solid research, and a
kind heart, Johnston masterfully presents a compelling case for the
powerful ministry of our Lord in real life situations. Having been
in a family that has experienced mental illness and suicide, I
especially appreciate his balanced treatment to these issues. This
will be an important addition in the field of apologetics and
pastoral ministry.
--Frank Page, Ph.D., President and CEO, Southern Baptist Convention
Executive Committee
I have the rare privilege of speaking to large groups of people
globally. The one commonality that is reinforced with each speaking
engagement is the need for Christians to be provided with answers
to difficult life questions. Jeremiah Johnston's book Unanswered,
and the related teaching materials, provide answers to many
perplexing questions. I have used Unanswered in group settings as
well as in lectures. It is extremely well-researched and provides
easy-to-understand, practical application to life's most
challenging struggles. Unanswered is a book for such a time as
this. A must-read.
--Cary Summers, President, Museum of the Bible, Washington, DC
Intriguing...stimulating...challenging. These words represent Dr.
Jeremiah Johnston's new book, Unanswered. It will definitely meet a
huge need in today's church. Not only will it answer questions for
those seeking the truth, it will also encourage the communicators
of God's truth, giving them greater confidence in answering the
current questions people are asking today.
--Dr. Ronnie Floyd, President, Southern Baptist Convention, Senior
Pastor, Cross Church, Springdale, Arkansas
It is a pleasure to commend this lively and readable book. Some
apologetics books are overly technical (and frankly, dull), and
many fail to grapple with the current questions as framed by modern
enquirers and sceptics. Not so Unanswered. Jeremiah Johnston writes
with the heart of a pastor and the mind of a scholar. Unanswered
questions--about silence, suicide, suffering, and Scripture, to
name but a few--pose real problems for real people, which demand
the care and compassion that this book provides. This book is
accessible and credible; it is a delight to read, and I shall be
giving copies away to friends who have wrestled with unanswered
questions for years.
--Reverend Dr. Simon Vibert, Vice Principal, Director of the School
of Preaching, Wycliffe Hall, University of Oxford
This is a challenging time for Christians everywhere. I am very
pleased that my good friend Jeremiah Johnston has written
Unanswered: Lasting Truth for Trending Questions, an insightful
book that will have a lasting impact on all readers. His spiritual
insights make this a captivating and compelling book. You will be
inspired by the truth and encouraged as you seek answers to
unanswered questions in your life.
--Dr. Jay Alan Sekulow, Chief Counsel, American Center for Law &
Justice
