Is Atheism Dead?

In 1966, TIME magazine asked the question that shook the Western world: 'Is God Dead?' More than five decades later, Eric Metaxas, author of the #1 bestseller Bonhoeffer, returns the provocation with force and wit: Is Atheism Dead? Drawing on the latest developments in cosmology, archaeology, and philosophy, Metaxas argues that the confident secular materialism of the twentieth century has been quietly undermined by the very scientific discoveries it championed. From the fine-tuning of the universe to the astonishing complexity of DNA, from archaeological evidence illuminating the biblical record to the philosophical dead ends of pure naturalism, Metaxas builds a case in the tradition of C.S. Lewis and G.K. Chesterton, entertaining, rigorous, and utterly serious about the stakes. For believers seeking intellectual grounding and skeptics willing to be challenged, Is Atheism Dead? may be the most important book of its kind in a generation.
