About this item
In this tour of the history of arguments for and against the existence of God, Nathan Schneider embarks on a remarkable intellectual, historical, and theological journey through the centuries of believers and unbelieversfrom ancient Greeks, to medieval Arabs, to todays most eminent philosophers and the New Atheists. Framed by an account of Schneiders own unique journey, God in Proof illuminates the great minds who wrestled with one of historys biggest questions together with their arguments, bringing them to life in their time, and our own. Schneiders sure-handed portrayal of the characters and ideas involved in the search for proof challenges how we normally think about doubt and faith while showing that, in their quest for certainty and the proofs to declare it, thinkers on either side of the God divide are often closer to one another than they would like to think.
