Preaching Ecclesiastes in a Secular Age

October 4, 2011

TODAY'S BIBLE READING:

Reason, Faith, and Revolution: Reflections on the God Debate (Yale University Press, 2009), a publication of Eagleton’s lectures at Yale for the 2008 “Dwight Harrington Terry Foundation Lectures on Religion in the Light of Science and Philosophy.”  Perhaps few, if any, readers would agree with everything that Eagleton says, but his telling, often funny, sometimes bromide-laden, always insightful, demolition job on Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens (or as he suggests calling them “Ditchkins”) is compelling.  Eagleton’s main point is that most new atheists have what he calls a “superstitious” view of God. Instead you might reference books by James W. Sire (Why Good Arguments Often Fail, IVP 2006), or other volumes like Al Mohler’s Atheism Remix (Crossway, 2008), or Roger Lundin’s Believing Again: Doubt and Faith in a Secular Age (Eerdmans, 2009), or the work of John Lennox, God’s Undertaker (Lion, 2007).]]>
