Why is there something rather than nothing? Why are we here? Does God exist? Why is there evil and suffering? Is there life after death? How can we know the answers to these Big Questions? This book offers compelling answers taken from the author's numerous academic peer-reviewed books and journal articles published by world-leading academic publishers such as Cambridge University Press, Oxford University Press, Routledge, and Springer Nature. These publications have made significant contributions to the literature by providing a more rigorous defence of the Cosmological and Teleological Arguments for the existence of God, and the historical argument for the resurrection and divinity of Jesus Christ. The academic quality of these arguments has been recognized by experts internationally (see https: //www.academia.edu/125879702/CV_Andrew_Loke ), and they have helped people from around the world overcome their doubts in ways that are life-changing (see https: //www.academia.edu/84929596/Testimonials ). The arguments are presented here in an accessible format that will help lay people understand the answers to the biggest and most important questions of existence.

Beyond "The Biggest Questions of Existence reflects years of top-level academic work from Dr. Loke. And yet he's not writing for scholars, but students, seekers, and believers who want to think through big questions about the existence of God, life after death, suffering and more. This book will both challenge and equip you."
