A Question of Faith: A Simple Question toward Ultimate Truth [Paperback] by Tor Constantino 160 pages, $9.
97 ISBN-13: 978-1452825625 Nonfiction Review by Steven King, MBA, MEd The anticipation of taking a standardized test typically fills most people with a certain level of dread.
If one is seeking attendance at a particular school, or if he needs a certification to enhance his career, the preparation for and taking the test itself, causes quite a bit of nervous anxiety.
However, once you have lived your life, the career you chose and the certifications you held probably mean very little in the big scheme of things.
What if something as important as the choice of your religious faith came down to answering a simple question? For instance, you find yourself taking a standardized test and run across the following question: Q: Which of the major world religions listed below is the best for someone to believe? A.
Buddhism B.
Christianity C.
Hinduism D.
Islam E.
Judaism F.
Sikhism How would you answer the question and, more importantly, is there a correct answer using the same logic employed in taking a standardized test? Tor Constantino demonstrates in his A Question of Faith: A Simple Question Toward Ultimate Truth that the answer to both questions is a resounding: yes! Each of the six religions posed in the question above are evaluated using the following grid:
After reading the book, I was quite satisfied that Constantino had done his homework and provided sufficient, unbiased information about each religion.
In the end of the book, he does show which religion, in his estimation, provides the correct answer to the question posed.
Perhaps more importantly, he explains why he feels it does.
Those seeking religious answers will not be misguided by the thoughtfulness that accompanies this work.
Having this type of resource is sure to help seekers find a balance in their quest for religious truth.
Answering this question might be the most important test you ever undertake.
Remember the words of Sherlock Holmes, "How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be truth?" Quite possibly, Mr.
Holmes would have done very well on many different standardized tests...
but how would he have fared on the one that matters most: a question of faith?
