His argument is this: something came from nothing - therefore there is "a non-physical entity that explains its own existence and is uncaused", that something shows intelligence! Zacharias, a former atheist, found Christ when he was confined to a hospital bed after a botched suicide attempt. About Ravi Zacharias. Lion Books: London. Their arguments are not new. The main divisions within the contemporary atheist movement, however, are based around wider political themes. Ravi Z. Search Article Search Search. Zacharias presents a study of the Christ of scripture, prophecy and the inherent morality of the Ten Commandments. Unabridged MP3 CD. Nearly everything else was riddled with logical fallacies that could be spotted by anyone who stayed awake through Philosophy For the quartet, God may not be real, and all religions may be lies, but somehow, someway, the Protestantism of their youths is still a bit truer than all the other religions. Hook S The new failure of nerve. He was founder and chairman of Ravi Zacharias International Ministries www. Ravi K. On-going debates around these issues raise wider questions about the general direction of the atheist movement, with many arguing that it cannot be fully effective and achieve its political ambitions without first becoming a more inclusive and welcoming place. It is clearly possible to say that someone like Hitler was wrong in moral terms without reference to scripture" Letter Zacharias constantly berates Harris for "appealing to [the readers] emotions", an irrelevant facet of Harris's methods, even though almost every single one of his own arguments rely on boring parables and personal experiences that do exactly that! Suitability of environment. I'll say this: Brilliant and articulate. It might be that it offers no real answers to life's biggest and most important questions.

He opens his text by sharing his personal story of growing up in India, which some say is the most religious country in the world. Apr 22, Amanda Birdwell rated it liked it. Ethics declarations Competing interests The Authors declare no competing financial interests. Not that the presumption of some pure abstracted atheism would necessarily offend me, but the term has acquired a certain connotation in modern parlance. For example, new atheism is based on a naturalist worldview and places a strong emphasis on the use of reason, rationality and science as the best or the only means of understanding reality. Donna Eggett, www. Skip to main content. Verified purchase: Yes Condition: New. The irony in this argument, which began with the declaration that religion is uniquely violent, is apparently missed by Harris, who has since qualified his position on torture as this :. There is an overblown fear that rejection of a divine law-maker, the smashing of the tablets, implies an irrevocable ethical nihilism. Although Ravi's suicide attempt was tragic, wouldn't Christianity and its eternal carrot of Heaven be more likely to encourage one to leave this life sooner rather than later? Sign up for our newsletters! Pg 48 Harris in his book criticizes the belief in God by use of the wrong done to innocents like a baby girl being raped. With such an obvious emotional vestment, not to mention egotistical -- with his name gracing the helm of his international ministry -- we would almost certainly be engaged in wishful thinking if we wanted a fair review of Harris's decidedly anti-religious material. Nevertheless, a number of key themes emerge with regularity. I happen to think both of those things are true, but struggle sometimes with the idea that even if they are, they don't actually prove God's existence. The End of Reason A Response to the New Atheists 1st edition Writer There was so much depth to Ravi. Zacharias and his wife, Margie, have three grown children. They each argue that religion inherently incites violence, whereas atheism is more peaceful. In the end, America's choice will be between Islam and Jesus Christ. Their arguments are not new. If you take seriously some of Sam Harris' attacks on Christianity, this book answers some of them. One of the genuine novelties of new atheism, then, is the way in which it has developed within, and drawn upon, the currents of a new intellectual landscape to blend together a hybrid mix of philosophical elements. The notion that the only way for objective morality and meaningful existence to survive is to be championed by a patron deity is a rather short-sighed view which ignores a great deal of philosophical discourse. Kettell S Faithless: The politics of new atheism. For the quartet, God may not be real, and all religions may be lies, but somehow, someway, the Protestantism of their youths is still a bit truer than all the other religions. The Cambridge Companion to Atheism. In The End of Reason, Zacharias underscores the dependability of the Bible along with his belief in the power and goodness of God. Critics of new atheism maintain that it offers nothing more than a repackaging of age-old philosophical arguments combined with an intolerant, dogmatic and aggressively anti-religious rhetoric for example, Beattie, ; Haught, ; Lennox, , and many new atheists themselves contend that they are merely following in the well-worn footsteps of unbelievers from earlier times for example, Grayling, ; Cline, Published : 13 December Really, you could write a book in response to the logical problems on each page of the End of Reason. Next, Zacharias tackles the "odds of random life," where Nobel laureate and atheist Francis Crick believes a spaceship delivered spores to "seed the earth. This is because they exhibit a simplistic view of the world as being divided between two civilisations — secular and religious — which cannot coexist. Pg 37 Evolution does not disprove God. Ravi opens his "case" with an emotional tug, introducing us to a fictional case study about how atheism can lead to pain, suffering, family breakups and suicide. William B Eerdmans Publishing Co. Or worse, if it ISN'T ignorance, then Zacharias has chosen to misrepresent them in other words, deceiving readers on purpose. No doubt he will write a bulletin sized book to rebut it. While respect is warranted towards individuals because of their contribution to society, their religious beliefs baseless by definition do not deserve any such preferential treatment. What an incredible book - I can see why some people hate it because they are ignorant morons. The End of Reason A Response to the New Atheists 1st edition Reviews Considering this book takes its title in response to Sam Harris's strong book, The End of Faith , you might expect him to respond to Harris's claims in that book, but unfortunately Zacharias focuses Well Abstract The rise of new atheism has attracted significant attention but its novelty is often assumed rather than explained.

On-going debates around these issues raise wider questions about the general direction of the atheist movement, with many arguing that it cannot be fully effective and achieve its political ambitions without first becoming a more inclusive and welcoming place. What Ravi is implying here is that if he lived in the US before slaves were emancipated, he would either do nothing to free the slaves, do nothing to protect slaves who escaped, capture and hand over escaped slaves, fight on the side of the Confederates, or perhaps a mishmash of those options. Thankfully Ravi Zacharias has the ability to show us clear truth a midst the insanity. My biggest difficulty with the book is that it simultaneously tries to address Harris's charges that believe in God is unreasonable and that religion is toxi I liked this book a lot -- read it in one night and plan to go back to read it again. Jun 19, Joseph rated it it was ok. In that case, we can't He thinks that Harris "cannot explain his innate sense of right and wrong - the reality of God's law written on his heart - because there is no logical explanation for how that intuition toward morality could develop from sheer matter and chemistry" Although Ravi is clearly a philosopher - from a school of academia whose writings I find difficult to understand - I found The End of Reason easy to read and understand.

You would do yourself and your friends a favor by reading this book and passing one on to them. He confidently refutes Harris's claims that God is nothing more than a figment of one's imagination and that Christians regularly practice intolerance and hatred around the globe. Why are we presented with the curious choice between either committing to peculiar concepts about immaterial deities or letting go entirely of a host of consoling, subtle and effective rituals and practices for which there is no equivalent in secular society? In much of the Muslim world, religion is the central foundation upon which family, community, morality, and identity are built. A Reasonable God. In America, and elsewhere, a vigorous dispute between 'intelligent design' and Darwinism is seriously undermining and restricting the teaching of science. If you had infinite knowledge, then you would be the very god that you are saying does not exist.

  • The Existence of God in an Age of Reason Page 1 of 6 © 2011 by Craig B
    Christian Apologetics Study Series: Lesson #2 (Student key) Additional Notes The Existence of God In an Age of Reason by Craig B. Esvelt, D.Min Introduction: North America, once considered Christian not only by itself but by other nations around the world, can no longer make that claim. So far "It is extremely dangerous in the presence have we moved from our Judeo-Christian moorings that in the 1960's a of God to discuss His existence." - Soren number of philosophers and liberal theologians popularized a "God is dead" Kierkegaard movement, the culmination of a spiritual repression which found impetus a century earlier in the writings of Friedrich Nietzsche, who provided atheism with a philosophical basis, and Charles Darwin, who offered a scientific rationale. Today atheism is implicitly taught throughout our public school systems because public education, in its attempt at being pluralistically "neutral" (an impossible task!), ignores God altogether. So God has become "dead" to most recent generations, not through atheistic propaganda but because of a perceived irrelevance to all academic disciplines--a vanishing character like the fading smile of Alice In Wonderland's Cheshire cat. Added to that has been a more aggressive and vindictive expression of atheism in recent years, in part, a backlash of the 911 terrorist attacks where religion in general and Christianity in particular were tarred along with religious extremism and held up as an oppressive threat to human welfare and social progress. How can a believer respond to such an assault on faith? The Human Dilemma Before proceeding further, it would be wise to note some biblical presuppositions that have a bearing on understanding why there is so much controversy over the issue of belief in God.

  • Christian Apologist Ravi Zacharias Was Once Brought to a Curious Building
    Foundations. Christian apologist Ravi Zacharias was once brought to a curious building. It was specifically built to show the view of postmodernism where there is no real objective truth. You had staircases that ended without reaching a floor, doors that opened into a wall, and pillars that went from the floor to the ceiling or vice­versa without touching the other side. When asked what he thought about this layout, Ravi responded with “I wonder if the builder used the same technique on the foundation.” Indeed, one wouldn’t. The foundation is everything. If you do not have a solid foundation to your house, your house will not last. In the same way, what is the foundation for your faith? Is it an experience? Is it a feeling? Or is it that you believe firmly that Jesus rose from the dead? The foundation determines how strong the building of your faith is. in the bible. Matthew 7:24­27 These words I speak to you are not incidental additions to your life, homeowner improvements to your standard of living. They are foundational words, words to build a life on. If you work these words into your life, you are like a smart carpenter who built his house on solid rock. Rain poured down, the river flooded, a tornado hit—but nothing moved that house. It was fixed to the rock. But if you just use my words in Bible studies and don’t work them into your life, you are like a stupid carpenter who built his house on the sandy beach.
