Atheism And The Case Against Christ

Description

Preview
This is a novel and well-reasoned argument against one of the founding tenants of Christian theology - the resurrection. Millions of people believe that Jesus came back from the dead. Philosopher Matthew McCormick presents a controversial view in this cogent, forcefully argued book - namely, that the central tenet of Christianity, the resurrection of Jesus, is false. McCormick asks a number of probing questions, including: Is the evidence about Jesus as it has been relayed to us over the centuries of sufficient quantity and quality to justify belief in the resurrection? What light does contemporary research about human rationality from the fields of behavioural economics, empirical psychology, cognitive science, and philosophy shed on the resurrection and religious belief? Can a Christian believe by faith alone and yet reasonably deny the supernatural claims of other religions? By carefully answering these questions, and more without stooping to condescension or arrogance, McCormick offers persuasive arguments that are accessible, thoughtful, and new.
