Whether people praise, worship, criticize, or reject God, they all presuppose at least a rough notion of what it means to talk about God. Turning the certainty of this assumption on its head, a respected educator and humanist shows that when we talk about God, we are in fact talking about nothing at all—there is literally no such idea—and so all of the arguments we hear from atheists, true believers, and agnostics are and will always be empty and self-defeating. Peter J. Steinberger's commonsense account is by no means disheartening or upsetting, leaving readers without anything meaningful to hold on to. To the contrary, he demonstrates how impossible it is for the common world of ordinary experience to be all there is. With patience, clarity, and good humor, Steinberger helps readers think critically and constructively about various presuppositions and modes of being in the world. By coming to grips with our own deep-seated beliefs, we can understand how traditional ways asserting, denying, or even just wondering about God's existence prevent us from seeing the truth—which, it turns out, is far more interesting and encouraging than anyone would have thought.

'All the erudition and pithy wit you would expect from Humphrys, but there is also a charming, genuine enquiry that shines through' MAIL ON SUNDAY * * * * * * Bestselling author, radio presenter and national treasure John Humphrys tackles the big question of God through his own personal journey and argues that doubt is the only credible belief. Throughout the ages believers have been persecuted - usually for believing in the "wrong" God. So have non-believers who have denied the existence of God as superstitious rubbish. Today it is the agnostics who are given a hard time. They are scorned by believers for their failure to find faith and by atheists for being hopelessly wishy-washy and weak-minded. But John Humphrys is proud to count himself among their ranks. In this book he takes us along the spiritual road he himself has travelled. He was brought up a Christian and prayed every day of his life until his growing doubts finally began to overwhelm his faith. As one of the nation's most popular and respected broadcasters, he had the rare opportunity in 2006 of challenging leaders of our three main religions to prove to him that God does exist. The Radio Four interviews - Humphrys In Search of God - provoked the biggest response to anything he has done in half a century of journalism. The interviews and the massive reaction from listeners had a profound effect on him - but not in the way he expected. Doubt is not the easy option. But for the millions who can find no easy answers to the most profound questions it is the only possible one.

This book contains a unique perspective: that of a scientifically and philosophically educated agnostic who thinks there is impressive—if maddeningly hidden—evidence for the existence of God. Science and philosophy may have revealed the poverty of the familiar sources of evidence, but they generate their own partial defense of theism. Bryan Frances, a philosopher with a graduate degree in physics, judges the standard evidence for God’s existence to be awful. And yet, like many others with similar scientific and philosophical backgrounds, he argues that the usual reasons for atheism, such as the existence of suffering and success of science, are weak. In this book you will learn why so many people with scientific and philosophical credentials are agnostics (rather than atheists) despite judging all the usual evidence for theism to be fatally flawed.

Take Your Understanding of Church Teachings from Limiting to Life-Giving—& Free Your Faith to Flourish "No longer sustained by easy answers, we may find ourselves standing before a three-pronged fork in the road: we can wander in the direction of conventional beliefs and practices, we can reject God and turn away from religion altogether, or we can embrace our uncertainty as an invitation to a more vital understanding of both God and religion." —from the Introduction Do you describe yourself as "spiritual but not religious"? Whether young or old, church connected or not, are you spiritually restless for an authentic faith life but do not find conventional religious teachings pertinent to you? This accessible guide to a meaningful spiritual life is a salve for your soul. It reinterprets traditional religious teachings central to the Christian faith—God, Jesus, faith, prayer, morality and more—in ways that connect with people who have outgrown the beliefs and devotional practices that once made sense to them. It helps you find new ways to understand and relate to traditional, narrowly defined Christian “truths” that honor their full spiritual power and scope, and opens your mind and heart to the full impact of Christian teachings.

When your world of traditional assumptions is shaken where do you turn for inner peace and personal comfort? Considering Pascals wager, if there is no god and we disbelieve we have lost nothing, but if there is a god and we disbelieve we may have lost everything. But, what if there is no free will and we all must believe whatever we are given? That is the primary question that pushed this author into investigating what the world religions and philosophies taught about the existential puzzle called life. When my traditional faith failed to provide any comfort after untimely death of my wife I began searching for some belief I could live with, and this is what I was given. Many thinking people have rejected the mythical god of the Bible and the Quran but they have not found a suitable substitute. Since there is no proof for or against the existence of God, everyone must be agnostic or atheist if they will admit it. Perhaps it is time to replace the anthropomorphic god with one that really works. Not the god of the Bible or the Quran, but the prime force in the universe: Generator, Operator, Destroyer...G.O.D. The expanded and updated essays in the second edition of this book develop such a new theology.

What is agnosticism? Is it just the 'don't know' position on God, or is there more to it than this? Is it a belief, or merely the absence of belief? Who were the first to call themselves 'agnostics'? These are just some of the questions that Robin Le Poidevin considers in this Very Short Introduction. He sets the philosophical case for agnosticism and explores it as a historical and cultural phenomenon. What emerges is a much more sophisticated, and much more interesting, attitude than a simple failure to either commit to, or reject, religious belief. Le Poidevin challenges some preconceptions and assumptions among both believers and non-atheists, and invites the reader to rethink their own position on the issues. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Being a believer in Christ Jesus is not easy, nor is Christian conversion. Judaism to Christianity is largely misunderstood if not overlooked. And there are not many books for agnostics, let alone a best Christian book that is also the best spiritual book and a Book of Wisdom. The perfect God has many topics, but a central theme, just like a book about the bible, which is realizing that God is real, not imaginary, and things just don't happen by accident. The Perfect God describes why, for instance, God allows "bad things to happen to good people," and why His best course of action is often inaction. Not every question asked about God can be answered or understood with human minds, and The Perfect God offers reasonable explanations that can make one's understanding of life that much easier.And how many books by Apostles are there that are full of pearls of wisdom? Look no further. Parents, get this for your children, and look inside for yourselves. Books for Christians abound, but most of them are about personal testimony and lack specific Christian education and spiritual direction, and sometimes they detract from God's plan for mankind--His beloved creatures that were made, and did not evolve from something else. The Perfect God is not politically correct, but it cuts through the hype without softening the truth of God's reality or how personal God's love can be for those who honestly seek Him. Like the best spiritual self-help book, sometimes feelings must be spared in order to save one's eternity. Atheism and Agnosticism seem to be on the rise, but they have no chance against apologetics, especially the cutting edge of God's word, the bible, which IS the proof of God's existence that so many non-believers demand. The monotheism of Christ Jesus written about in the bible and The Perfect God are the best books for Christians, as well as the best books for atheists. One of the best Christian books is The Perfect God, which is available only on Amazon.com, written by a modern-day apostle.Spiritual self-help and self-help books are often the only ways to win against alcohol addiction or drug addiction, as well as atheism and agnosticism, besides obsessive-compulsive behaviors, personality disorders, harmful addictions, video games, or other dysfunctional things that may be tearing souls apart. Over twenty years in the making, The Perfect God is refined to be one of the best books for Christians and believers in Jesus (the) Christ, as well as the best books for unbelievers or people who are unsure of themselves or where their current religion or beliefs are taking them. Faith and love are the best qualities, but what is most important besides a good book about faith is reliance upon God and learning obedience to God's will. Humans are not robots, and God is not a puppet master. The Perfect God has a lifetime of knowledge packed into one volume, tempered over time, like a well-made sword. The Perfect God is a weapon to be used against evil strategies and tactics of the devil, and it reveals plans which can destroy souls and keep them from heaven. People can choose to believe whatever they want, but not all of it meets the eye. The Perfect God is a perfect weapon against evil and unrighteousness in a world filled with anxiety, despair and discouragement. There is always hope. The Perfect God cuts through all the crap and captures the essence of Christianity that can change one's life for the better. Buy it today.

Kenny, a philosopher by profession, struggles with the intellectual problems of theism and the possibility of believing in god, especially in an intellectual climate dominated by Logical Positivism. Here he revisits the Five Ways of Aquinas and argues that they are not so much proofs as definitions of God. He is also in constant dialogue with Wittgenstein for, Kenny writes, no man in recent years has surpassed him in devotion of sharp intelligence to the demarcation of the boundary between sense and nonsense.
