New Chapter by Dr. Howe “Dan Barker, ex-preacher and co-founder of the Freedom from Religion Foundation, travels widely, arguing in debates and speaking on his beliefs that Christianity is false, God does not exist, and that Bible is filled with errors and mythology. He has been touted as one of America’s leading atheists. Yet close examination of his arguments shows that Barker’s reasons for disbelief are poorly reasoned and miss the mark as they are aimed at a mistaken caricature of Christian theism. Answering the Music Man exposes Barker’s misunderstandings of Christianity and provides compelling answers to Barker’s arguments.” [from the back cover] Dr. Howe’s chapter is titled “A Thomistic Argument for God’s Existence.”
