Book: God is Great, God is God

12 December 2009 One Comment
The days have passed when the goodness of God – indeed, the reality of God itself – could reasonably be called a consensus opinion. God’s reputation has come under considerable review in recent days, with some going so far as to say that it’s not we who’ve made a mess of things. Instead whatever it is we call God is to blame.
But is such an opinion really a fair assessment? In this magisterial collection, the contemporary complaints against belief in God are addressed with intellectual passion and rigor by some of the most astute theological and philosophical minds of the day: J. P. Moreland, Paul Moser, John Polkinghorne, Michael Behe, Michael J. Murray, Alister McGrath, Paul Copan, Jerry Walls, Charles Taliaferro, Scot McKnight, Gary Habermas, Mark Mittelberg.
Including an interview by Gary Habermas with noted convert to theism Antony Flew, and a direct critical response to Richard Dawkins’s God Delusion by Alvin Plantinga, God Is Great, God Is Good offers convincing and compelling reassurance that though the world has changed, God has not.

Christians in Context have provided a helpful review of this recently released title in an area of debate that will no doubt be devoured by those who play hard, but play fair… Yeah, by us Christians!

You can go and read a review of their FREE copy from InterVarsity Academic Press… I mean, come on, IVP, share the love!

Now, I am sure you all remember the “Admin”… Ah, the memories… almost brings a tear to one’s nostrils, but moving on from any nostalgia, this is a title that would get his being-sanctified soul “krumping”… Okay, that  might be a little bit of an exaggeration, but you get the point!

If anyone has read this title, feel free to give us your thoughts.  No ideologue! This is not an opportunity to beat your chest and grunt your ‘uncommon descent”… to quote a blog.

Note the subtitle: Why Believing in God is Reasonable and Responsible!  Settle, Idealogue, I can see the “Fool Moon Rising” (to quote a book).

Here is how IVP books describe this title…
