Author: David G. MyersPublisher: John Wiley and Sons LtdCategory: Religion: General, Religion & Science, Christian Theology, Eclectic & Esoteric Religions & Belief Systems, Philosophy Of ScienceBook Format: HardcoverA prominent psychologist, writer and Christian, David Meyers uses A Friendly Letter to Skeptics and Atheists to respond to the wave of new atheism?especially proponents such as Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens and Daniel Dennett. Writing as a respected and well-known scientist with a broad and progressive Christian background, Myers acknowledges the faults and failings of religion and the sins committed in its name and presents a well-reasoned case for the many benefits of faith?not just for individuals but for society at large. He demonstrates why God is good, why this is not the end of faith and how we may have many delusions but God is not one of them.
