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.”
New Chapter by Dr. Howe
“In The Morality Wars, contributors from religious and nonreligius
beckgrounds debate the origin and nature of human goodness. While
the subject is often addressed by prominent figures on both sides of
the believer/atheist divide on public platforms and social media,
participants seldom get the opportunity to explain their view points
indepth. In addition to engaging the traditional conflict between
science and religious faith over the content and nature of the moral
conscience, the contributors also draw on and engage with figures
who are often neglected when committed theologians and atheists
debate each other, such as Sigmund Freud, Friedrich Nietzsche, David
Hume, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and Jacques Lacan.” [from the back
cover.]
Dr. Howe’s chapter is titled “Morality as Based on Natural Law.”
Two Chapters by Dr. Howe
“Has Science Refuted Miracles and the
Supernatural?” and “How Should Christians
Think about Origins?”
