A philosopher, a Muslim, a Christian and a Jew were chatting with a king who was shopping for a religion. No this is not one of those jokes. This is the setting of the Kuzari, the story of how the Khazar nation converted to Judaism in the 12th Century by Spanish-Jewish philosopher-poet Rabbi Yehuda HaLevi. Four links you will like:
Here is a translation of the Kuzari in English
Here's a great article by Baal Teshuvah Rabbi Dr. David Gottlieb on reasons to believe.
Here's how a Baal Teshuvah mathematician, who became observant from reading Gottlieb's book, translated the Kuzari's arguments into formal logic.
And here's an easy-reading well-referenced essay by Rabbi Nissan Dovid Dubov on proving G-d, expanding on the Kuzari principle.
