God Is Great, God Is Good: Why Believing in God Is Reasonable and Responsible - Softcover

"Craig and Meister bring together cutting-edge essays that attest powerfully to the massive and growing evidence in favor of theism in general and Christianity in particular. Each essay responds to the charges made by the New Atheists, but this is by no means a polemical book. The writeres set a high bar for reasonable, responsible discourse, and they live up to it."--The 2010 Christianity Today Book Awards, Apologetics/Evangelism Category Winner, February 2010

"There is no way, apart from deep and abiding spiritual blindness, that an atheist could read this book and walk away thinking belief in God is nonsensical, irrational, or unscientific."--Craig Hazen, Outreach, March-April 2011

"This book has plenty of food for thought for believing Christians (and unbelievers!) who need a reason to believe in Jesus Christ and the Church."--Glenn B. Siniscalchi, American Theological Inquiry, January 2010

"The essays in this book are all clearly argued, and will reassure the already faithful that they are neither daft nor deluded."--Lucy Huskinson, Church Times, April 7, 2010

"Craig and Meister have assembled careful, thoughtful, credible, well-communicated views, which can be used to support, expand and individualize curriculum. These essays challenge and argue the New Atheists."--Richard O. Wright, Youth Worker Journal, January/February 2010

The days have passed when the goodness of God -- indeed, the reality of God itself -- could reasonably be called a consensus opinion. God's reputation has come under considerable review in recent days, with some going so far as to say that it's not we who've made a mess of things. Instead whatever it is we call God is to blame. But is such an opinion really a fair assessment? In this magisterial collection, the contemporary complaints against belief in God are addressed with intellectual passion and rigor by some of the most astute theological and philosophical minds of the day. - Publisher.
