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 agnosticthinking 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 Sartreand Bertrand Russell, explaining how their teaching has shaped modernthinking.·Blanchard also traces the rise of Darwinism and uncovers theweaknesses in claims made by its contemporary exponents such as RichardDawkins and Peter Atkins.·The author further exposes the fallacies ofdeterminism, existentialism and secular humanism. This work alsotackles the two crucial issues of the relationship between science andreligion, and the thorny question of how a 'God of love' can allowsuffering and evil in the world. A best-seller.
