The certainties which underpinned Christian belief have crumbled in a 
world where science sets the standard of what is true. A rational case 
for belief must therefore be constructed out of uncertainties. 
Probability theory provides the tools for measuring and combining 
uncertainties and is thus the key to progress. 
This book examines four 
much debated topics where the logic of uncertain reference can be 
brought to bear. These are: miracles, the paranormal, God's existence,
and the Bible. Given the great diversity of evidence, it is not 
surprising that opposite conclusions have been drawn by supposedly 
rational people. An assessment of the state of the argument from a 
probabilistic perspective is overdue. 
In this book Professor Bartholomew
 examines and refutes some of the more extravagant claims, evaluates the
 weight of some of the quantitative evidence, and provides an answer to 
the fundamental question: can a rational person be a Christian?
