Description:

Many arguments from atheists, agnostics, and skeptics are difficult, or at least intimidating, for most Christians to answer. With clear reasoning and understandable language Ron Rhodes provides readers with the explanations and scriptural background they need to respond to common arguments against faith including:

  • There is no such thing as absolute truth.
  • Genesis is a myth, not a scientific account.
  • A loving God cannot exist—there is too much evil and suffering.
  • If God created all things, how did He create Himself?
  • Sin is an outdated concept.

With this resource, Christians will be able to confidently respond to logical arguments against the foundations of Christianity.

Dewey Decimal Number: 211
Publication Date: 2009-06-01
Reading Level: 304
 
Description: Visionary utopian thinker finds the atheist core of the bible. In recent years religious faith has come under much scrutiny from secular progressives. Fear of a rise in Islamic and Christian fundamentalism has prompted numerous attacks on the belief in God which make no attempt to understand its source. In this long unavailable book, Ernst Bloch provides an original historical examination of Christianity in an attempt to find its social roots. He pursues a detailed study of the Bible and its long standing fascination for 'ordinary and unimportant' people. In the Bible stories' promise of utopia and their antagonism to authority, Bloch locates the appeal to the oppressed - the desire 'to transcend without transcendence'. Through a lyrical yet close and nuanced analysis he explores the tensions within the text that promote atheism, against the authoritarian metaphysical theism imposed on it by priest interpreters. At the Bible's heart he finds a heretical core and claims, paradoxically, that a good Christian must necessarily be an atheist.

Description:
We have no evidence that there is any personal Superbeing who has anything to do with our lives. The best evidence we have is that we live in a universe of chance and probability, with physical laws that can describe only the interaction of large objects. The only god we know is the god of chance which chooses, by natural selection, those who have adapted to their environment, and unceremoniously, without remorse, eliminates those who do not adapt. If we accept this apparent fact, we will make entirely different decisions about how we manage our personal lives, and the structure of our societies. We will see that blind allegiance to the wild mythologies of our major religions is ripping apart the fabric of our societies. The religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam are schizophrenically bipolar. Until we realize we are blindly hating and killing each other on the basis of false myths, peaceful co-existence of all people will not be possible.

Author: Becky Garrison

Dewey Decimal Number: 239.7
Publication Date: 2008-01-01
Reading Level: 256
 
Description: A challenge has been issued on matters of faith and Becky Garrison meets it head on in this witty yet poignant answer to the Anti-God gurus Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and Daniel Dennett.

Becky Garrison, religious satirist and senior contributing editor for The Wittenberg Door, is taking a stand. Where most Christians assume the character of the Cowardly Lion chanting, "I do believe, I do believe, I do believe," Garrison refuses to simply thrust tracts at these self-proclaimed infidels.

Instead, Garrison steels her pen and takes on the ungodly program of the New Atheists, skewering each argument with her sharp satiric wit. Garrison turns aside the atheists' assault without ignoring its real criticisms, namely, the church's inadequate response to war, evolution, medical ethics, social justice, and other important issues in the post-9/11 world.

Author: Sandra Menssen::Thomas D. Sullivan
Publisher: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company
Dewey Decimal Number: 212.6
Publication Date: 2007-09-14
Reading Level: 331
 
Description: Is there a good God? And if there is, has that God revealed anything of significance to us? Philosophers pondering these two questions have automatically assumed that the first must be answered before the second. But Sandra Menssen and Thomas Sullivan argue philosophically -- that is, without reliance on divine revelation -- that unless the content of revelatory claims has been considered, it is a mistake to deny the existence of God.

The Agnostic Inquirer presents a clear, analytical argument that without reflection on the content of revelatory claims, atheists and agnostics are missing a large part of the relevant database for establishing the existence of God, and many theists are working with an impoverished database in trying to explain the foundations of their faith.

Description: Dr Jonathan Miller has said that, 'd'Holbach is an enormously important figure in the history of disbelief', (BBC Television, A Brief History of Disbelief, 2005). Through this new translation of d'Holbach's Christianity Unveiled -- the first complete translation from the original French into English, together with a whole host of related documents never before translated -- the reader will come to an in-depth appreciation of d'Holbach, the courageous atheist, his society, and the cultural milieu in which he wrote and published. His atheism and criticism of Christianity and sovereigns who pandered to the Church outraged not only the religious establishment but also the state, so much so that he had to publish his work anonymously for fear of being arrested and incarcerated in the Bastille. His radical, outspoken ideas also scandalized famous intellectuals and men of letters of his day, such as Voltaire. This edition contains a wealth of biographical material on d'Holbach and his circle, previously only available in French. Illustrated and annotated liberally, it sets all the documents in their biblical, historical, philosophical, political and cultural context. Chief amongst the supplementary documents are extracts from Bergier's voluminous refutation, expressly commissioned by the Catholic Church and published with a special papal blessing in an attempt to counter d'Holbach's trenchant criticism: Bergier was one of the Church's foremost intellectual giants. Christianity Unveiled: A Controversy in Documents also contains a survey of key events in the history and formation of the Christian Church, its in-fighting and ruthlessness in dealing with rival philosophies and with those whom it regarded as heretics. An extensive Glossary of terms and persons mentioned in the translations is also provided. Never before have d'Holbach's life and times been set in context in such a scholarly yet highly accessible form, shedding light on this key figure of the Enlightenment in Europe and rescuing from oblivion this momentous work which the Church had sought to bury forever.

Description: "Thousands of philosophers--from the ancient Greeks to modern thinkers--have defended atheism, but none more comprehensively than Martin. . . . Atheists should read it to bolster their creed, and theists should read it to test their faith against the deadly force of Martin's attack."--Martin Gardner, The Humanist.
