HarperCollins Publishers Inc There Is A God : How The World'S Most Notorious Atheist Changed His Mind by Antony Flew , Roy Abraham Varghese
A wave of modern atheists have taken center stage and brought the long-standing debate about the existence of God back into the headlines. Spearheaded by Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and Christopher Hitchens, this new atheism has found a powerful place in todays culture wars. Although this movement has been billed as new, the foundation of its argument is indebted to philosopher Antony Flew and his groundbreaking paper Theology and Falsification, the most widely reprinted philosophical publication of the last five decades. Flew built his highly acclaimed academic career publicly debunking the existence of God. But, now the renowned philosopher has arrived at the opposite conclusion and officially joined the other side.With refreshing openness to argument and an absence of the anger and hostility that have been hallmarks of the new atheism, Flew shows how his commitment to following the argument wherever it leads resulted, to his own astonishment, in his conversion to belief in a creator God. Certain to be read and discussed for years to come, There Is a God will forever change the debate about the existence of God.show more
