From bookstores to bus campaigns, the question of God is up for public debate--and well-known atheists like Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens are leading the charge. While these authors, who have been dubbed \"The New Atheists,\" argue against religion in general, they aim most of their criticisms and complaints at the world's largest religion--Christianity. Why are people reading books that bash God and ridicule faith? And how can Christians respond?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe writings of the New Atheists are especially challenging to the emerging generation who are skeptical of authority and have not been given answers to the hows and whys of faith's honest questions. For these readers especially, authors Sean McDowell and Jonathan Morrow have penned an accessible yet rigorous look at the arguments of the New Atheists. Writing from a distinctively Christian perspective, McDowell and Morrow lay out the facts so that the emerging generation can make up their own mind after considering all the evidence. Divided into two parts--the first addressing the scientific and philosophical challenges to belief in God and the second dealing with the moral and biblical challenges--\u003cem\u003eIs God Just a Human Invention?\u003c\/em\u003e will respond to each major argument in a way that is balanced, thorough, and easy to understand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMcDowell and Morrow believe that the current religious landscape is both an opportunity and a challenge for people of faith. \u003cem\u003eNow\u003c\/em\u003e is the time to respond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMcDowell, Sean:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Sean McDowell (MA, Talbot Theological Seminary) is an award-winning educator, speaker, and author.
