Book Synopsis Deluded by Dawkins? by : Andrew J. Wilson
Download or read book Deluded by Dawkins? written by Andrew J. Wilson and published by Kingsway Publications. This book was released on 2007 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his book The God Delusion, prominent atheist Richard Dawkins has brought together the many arguments against the likelihood of God's existence. This challenging book sold 50,000 copies in hardback within a few weeks of publication, and a paperback is set to follow. In Deluded by Dawkins?, Andrew Wilson subjects these arguments to rigorous analysis. First he clarifies those which are unsubstantiated or irrelevant, and then he acknowledges the many points with which Christians can actually agree. From here he examines eight arguments over which Christians must differ, and explains why. Easy to read and follow, this is for any believer who wishes to see through the rhetoric to the real issues at stake.
Book Synopsis The Deluded Atheist by : Douglas Wilson
Download or read book The Deluded Atheist written by Douglas Wilson and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-26 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Street-Level Apologetics: Where the Reason Meets the Road In this pithy, punch-packing book, Douglas Wilson responds to atheist Richard Dawkins's The God Delusion. Originally published in 2008, The Deluded Atheist stands out among the many responses to the new atheists for its precision and wit. Wilson reduces Dawkins's atheistic criticism to groundless complaints and tail-chasing unreason, showing how the arguments Dawkins puts for atheism cannot stand up even when scrutinized by their own internal logic. When Dawkins calls aspirations to atheism "brave and splendid," Wilson retorts that a materialistic view of humanity as mere protoplasm simply doesn't give much scope for such aims: "Get yourself a double-layered Hefty garbage bag and fill it with some kind of vegetable soup, shake it for a bit, and you have some idea of just how lofty an aspiration can actually be." You might be better off getting yourself a copy of this book and the more hopeful worldview that Christianity provides. Douglas Wilson has been the pastor of Christ Church, Moscow, Idaho, for over forty years. He and His wife, Nancy, have three children and seventeen grandchildren. Doug is the author of scores of books, including Apologetics in the Void: Hometown Hurly-Burly.

Book Synopsis The God Delusion by : Richard Dawkins
Download or read book The God Delusion written by Richard Dawkins and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2011-01-25 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A preeminent scientist—and the world's most prominent atheist—asserts the irrationality of belief in God and the grievous harm religion has inflicted on society, from the Crusades to 9/11. With rigor and wit, Dawkins examines God in all his forms, from the sex-obsessed tyrant of the Old Testament to the more benign (but still illogical) Celestial Watchmaker favored by some Enlightenment thinkers. He eviscerates the major arguments for religion and demonstrates the supreme improbability of a supreme being. He shows how religion fuels war, foments bigotry, and abuses children, buttressing his points with historical and contemporary evidence. The God Delusion makes a compelling case that belief in God is not just wrong but potentially deadly. It also offers exhilarating insight into the advantages of atheism to the individual and society, not the least of which is a clearer, truer appreciation of the universe's wonders than any faith could ever muster.
Book Synopsis The Palpable Universe by : Mohammed Muflahi
Download or read book The Palpable Universe written by Mohammed Muflahi and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2014-03-28 with total page 670 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “In a feeble attempt to deceive mankind, Stephen W. Hawking and Richard Dawkins, among others of their ilk, have painstakingly persevered in creating a Godless society, in the hope intelligent people will accept the theory of evolution as the source that caused the universe to exist. Bringing forward arguments, they create a multitude of problems they cannot answer, resulting in guesses and lies. Not knowing where we came from and why we are here, scientists will never cease their search for the Truth. I have written this book in refutation of their claims and expounded on the subject for clarification.”

Meyer, and a wide range of recommended resources, An Informed Cosmos offers an informed overview of the contemporary case for intelligent design.
Book Synopsis The Dawkins Delusion? by : Alister McGrath
Download or read book The Dawkins Delusion? written by Alister McGrath and published by SPCK. This book was released on 2007-02-16 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World-renowned scientist Richard Dawkins writes in The God Delusion: 'If this book works as I intend, religious readers who open it will be atheists when they put it down'. The volume has received wide coverage, fuelled much passionate debate and caused not a little confusion. Alister McGrath is ideally placed to evaluate Dawkins' ideas. Once an atheist himself, he gained a doctorate in molecular biophysics before going on to become a leading Christian theologian. He wonders how two people, who have reflected at length on substantially the same world, could possibly have come to such different conclusions about God. McGrath subjects Dawkins' critique of faith to rigorous scrutiny. His exhilarating, meticulously argued response deals with questions such as: Is faith intellectual nonsense? Are science and religion locked in a battle to the death? Can the roots of Christianity be explained away scientifically? Is Christianity simply a force for evil? This book will be warmly received by those looking for a reliable assessment of The God Delusion and the many questions it raises - including, above all, the relevance of faith and the quest for meaning.
Book Synopsis The God Debaters by : Adrian Rosenfeldt
Download or read book The God Debaters written by Adrian Rosenfeldt and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-05-04 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the post-9/11 God debate in the West. Through a close study of prominent English God debaters Richard Dawkins, Karen Armstrong, Christopher Hitchens, and Terry Eagleton, Adrian Rosenfeldt demonstrates that New Atheist and religious apologist ideas and arguments about God, science, and identity are driven by mythic autobiographical narratives and Protestant or Catholic cultural heritage. This study is informed by criticism of the New Atheist polemic as being positivistic, and the religious apologists as propagating “sophisticated theology.” In both cases, the God debaters are perceived as disassociating themselves from human lived experience. It is through reconnecting the God debaters’ intellectual ideas to their cultural and social background that the God debate can be grounded in a recognisable human reality that eludes reductive distinctions and disembodied abstractions.
Book Synopsis Atheism for Beginners by : Michael Palmer
Download or read book Atheism for Beginners written by Michael Palmer and published by Lutterworth Press. This book was released on 2013-02-28 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "'Hurray for Michael Palmer!' is how Michael Martin, the distinguished American philosopher, greeted Palmer's The Atheist's Primer (Lutterworth, 2012). Atheism for Beginners, by providing a 'coursebook for schools and colleges,' differs from its predecessor in being designed specifically for teachers and their students. Yet, although different in focus and format, the intention remains the same: to reinstate the importance of philosophy within the debate about God's existence and to act as a corrective tothe largely Darwinian criticisms levelled against religious belief by Richard Dawkins and the so-called 'new atheists'. So, in Palmer's lively history of atheism, extending from the ancient Greeks to the present day, we meet the enduring philosophical arguments against God and the great literature in which they are expressed. Atheism for Beginners is user-friendly and presumes no special grounding in philosophy. Throughout assistance is given by numerous aids to learning: there are exercises, marginal notes, essay questions, bibliographies and a glossary. Also provided are fourteen short biographies of famous atheists. In these respects Palmer follows the format first presented in his widely-read Moral Problems of 1991, long established as a core text inthe teaching of philosophy. In Atheism for Beginners, Palmer covers the main atheistic arguments, discussing issues such as creation, morality, evil, miracles and the motivations of belief. Particular attention is paid to the work of Hume, Marx, Nietzsche and Freud, with a special chapter devoted to the development of 'disproof atheism'. Atheism is often criticized for being unduly pessimistic: that without God there is nothing to look forward to, no life after death, no final righting of wrongs and no hope of salvation. But this, Palmer argues, is 'a slander against the atheistic outlook'. He concludes, therefore, on a positive note, explaining that happiness and personal fulfilment are to be found in the very materialism that religious belief rejects."
Book Synopsis Thank God for Atheists by : Timothy Morgan
Download or read book Thank God for Atheists written by Timothy Morgan and published by Harvest House Publishers. This book was released on 2015-10-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The greatest authors of atheism did more to push me toward belief in God than any Christian apologist writer." --Timothy Morgan. After a decade of major disappointments, Timothy Morgan was ready to reject God. Atheism offered an escape--an opportunity to dismiss God permanently. But as Morgan delved into the thinking of great atheists past and present, he was stunned. In book after book, he found their reasons for rejecting God to be intellectually unfulfilling. In Thank God for Atheists he candidly shares his journey by letting atheists speak for themselves, examining their logic to see whether it holds up or not. Along the way, deals with these key questions: What are the key elements of the atheist worldview? Who are the leading modern-day atheists, and what are they saying? How can you effectively respond to atheism? You'll find this a personal and thoughtful book on why the evidence for God is much more compelling than the evidence against Him.
Download or read book God is Good written by Martin G. Kuhrt and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-07-30 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is the God of the Bible the most unpleasant character in all fiction, as Richard Dawkins claims in The God Delusion? He is backed up by former preacher and now virulent atheist, Dan Barker, who has cited Scripture, seeking to justify every one of Dawkins’s infamous character slurs about the God of the Old Testament. Dawkins says the biblical God is “jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.” Barker has added eight accusations of his own. Dawkins was too kind, he says. The God of the Bible is also “a pyromaniacal, angry, merciless, curse hurling, vaccicidal, aborticidal, cannibalistic slavemonger.” Furthermore, Barker thoroughly implicates Jesus in the alleged crimes of his Father. God is Good seeks to answer every one of these twenty-seven accusations. Written for theological students, pastors, preachers, thoughtful laypeople who wince at some of what they read in the Bible, and those atheists who are honestly searching for truth, this book ducks none of the difficult questions and problematic passages.

Book Synopsis Religion and the New Atheism by : Amarnath Amarasingam
Download or read book Religion and the New Atheism written by Amarnath Amarasingam and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2010 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term "new atheism" has been given to the recent barrage of bestselling books written by Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett, Christopher Hitchens, and others. These books and their authors have had a significant media presence and have only grown in popularity over the years. This book brings together scholars from religious studies, science, sociology of science, philosophy, and theology to engage the new atheism and place it in the context of broader scholarly discourses. This volume will serve to contextualize and critically examine the claims, arguments and goals of the new atheism so that readers can become more informed of some of the debates with which the new atheists inevitably and, at times unknowingly, engage. "This collection will prove to be most valuable to readers who wish to understand the implications and phenomenal success of the new atheism from a multidisciplinary perspective. The editor is to be congratulted for assembling such an impressive list of contributions.---John F. Haught, Senior Fellow, Science & Religion, Woodstock Theological Center, George-town University "The new atheism, a species of secular fundamentalism, has excited a great deal of comment and controversy in recent years. Religion and the New Atheism raises the discourse to a new level."---Randall Balmer, Episcopal Priest and author of The Making of Evangelicalism "Amarasingam's collection of original essays dealing with various aspects of the recent work of new atheists is a most engaging read. The chapters included offer a wide array of perspectives, touching on numerous aspects and angles of New Atheism and its relationship to contemporary religion. While I most definitely did not agree with all of the contributions in the volume, and while I am generally more supportive of the new atheists than I am of their detractors, I found this volume over-all to be a compelling, engrossing, and provocative contribution."---Phil Zuckerman, Associate Professor of Sociology, Pitzer College, Author of Society Without God
Book Synopsis Getting at Jesus by : Peter S. Williams
Download or read book Getting at Jesus written by Peter S. Williams and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-01-29 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Portraying themselves as challenging blind religious dogma with evidence-led skepticism, the neo-atheist movement claims that the New Testament contains unreliable tales about a mythical figure who, far from being the resurrected Lord of life, may not even have lived. This comprehensive critique documents the falsehood of these neo-atheist claims, correcting their historical and philosophical mistakes to show how we can get at the truth about the historical Jesus.
Book Synopsis Omg Emails from Tom by : Malcolm Rothwell
Download or read book Omg Emails from Tom written by Malcolm Rothwell and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2021-07-15 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas was a science student and a committed Christian. Now, 20 years later, he is having serious doubts about his Christian beliefs. He has contacted me as his former university chaplain, in the hope I can answer some of his questions. In a series of emails he asks, for example, whether Adam and Eve actually existed, whether the Christmas stories are historically true. He also wants to know about God. Does God intervene in human lives, if so where does that leave the laws of science? Where is God? Can God be described? Does God answer prayer? What are we doing when we pray? Rothwell is trying to make sense of the Christian faith in this scientific world in which we live. Some will find the book too radical, others will find it liberating, and hopefully most will find it stimulating. In any event there is plenty of material for discussion and dialogue.
