Publisher's Synopsis
Today's New Atheists don't just deny God's existence (as the old atheists did) - they consider it their duty to scorn and ridicule religious belief. We don't need new answers for this aggressive modern strain of unbelief: We need a new approach.
In Answering Atheism, Trent Horn responds with a fresh and useful resource for the God debate, based on reason, common sense, and more importantly, 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, it tackles all the major issues of the debate, including:
-Reconciling human evil and suffering with the existence of a loving, all-powerful God
-Whether the empirical sciences have eliminated the need for God, or in fact point to him
-How atheists usually deny moral laws (and thus a moral lawgiver) in theory
