Can Atheism Rescue God?: (and vice versa) - Paperback

by Mel Thompson (Author)

How is it possible in this 21st century that people still disagree about whether or not God exists? Can the biggest single question we can ask - a question that clearly shapes our whole view of life and its possibilities - remain without a universally accepted answer?

This book is an attempt to get beyond the philosophical nonsense in which naïve language about God or uncompromising atheism can so easily become a distraction from engagement with what really matters.

Neither atheism nor theism need conform to their caricatures; together they offer a balance of rational and cultural subtlety that is far richer than either can offer on its own. And that richness finds its expression in the natural desire to create, to celebrate and to love.
