About This Book

The author surveys and critiques major currents of modern unbelief, dissecting pantheism (including a systematic account of Spinoza), various forms of materialism, theories of development in cosmology, biology, society, and the church, and doctrines of natural law, chance, and fate. He examines religious liberalism, skepticism, and secularism, assesses their philosophical foundations, and traces practical consequences for moral sentiment and public life. Argumentation considers the constitution of human nature, the efficacy of prayer, and defenses of belief in a personal divine governance against rival explanatory systems.
