Does God Believe In Atheists?

Customer Rating :

This is a meaty and absorbing volume - the result of long and painstaking research by John Blanchard. He brings his literary skills to bear on the subject of atheism and finds the whole atheistic world-view wanting in every aspect. He traces the development of atheistic and agnostic thinking from the ‘Golden Age’ of Greek philosophy to the present day. Blanchard pinpoints the influence of thinkers such as Immanuel Kant, Friedrich Neitzsche, Martin Heidegger, Albert Camus, Jean-Paul Sartre and Bertrand Russell, explaining how their teaching has shaped modern thinking.·Blanchard also traces the rise of Darwinism and uncovers the weaknesses in claims made by its contemporary exponents such as Richard Dawkins and Peter Atkins.·The author further exposes the fallacies of determinism, existentialism and secular humanism. This work also tackles the two crucial issues of the relationship between science and religion, and the thorny question of how a 'God of love' can allow suffering and evil in the world. A best-seller.
