Answering Atheism How to Make the Case for God with Logic and Charity

Trent Horn
Today's popular champions of atheism are often called New Atheists, because they don't just deny God's existence, they consider it their duty to scorn and ridicule religious belief. In Answering Atheism, Trent Horn responds with a fresh and useful resource, combining a thorough refutation of atheist claims with a skillfully constructed case for theism based on reason and common sense. Uniquely, he advocates a charitable approach that respects atheists' sincerity and good will--making this book suitable not just for believers but for skeptics and seekers too. Meticulously researched, and street-tested in Horn's work as a pro-God apologist, he tackles all the major issues, including: Reconciling human evil and suffering with the existence of a loving, all-powerful God- Does the empirical sciences eliminate the need for God- How atheists deny moral laws in theory but seldom in practice- Why the atheist symbol of the "Flying Spaghetti Monster" is flawed- History's best arguments for the existence of God and more! The secularistic modern world is turning increasingly more hostile to religious believers. Be ready to defend the basic reasonableness of theism.
