Has science disproved God?
Does religion do more harm than good?
Is faith irrational?
Drawing upon his experience as a barrister, Nicky Gumbel addresses the biggest issue of our age: does God exist? He sifts through the arguments adopted by some prominent atheists and assesses the evidence.
“Nicky Gumbel on the one hand skillfully exposes the weakness of the arguments of athesists like Dawkins; on the other he presents the towering figure of Jesus, a powerful force in the lives of some of the greatest scientists of all time and who today is the one above all others whose influence in the world is so desperately required.”
Sir John Houghton, FRS, Co-Chair, Scientific Assessment,
UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 1998-2002
“Dawkins’ attack against religion has the advantage of being blunt and direct. Nicky Gumbel has no other weapon in reply than the thousand-fold experience he has witnessed through the Alpha course. Can a delusion really have such an effect?
Cardinal Christoph Schonborn, Roman Catholic Archbishop of Vienna
“The most serious God delusion today is the idea that human beings should act like little gods. The consequences for the earth and the vulnerable in the world are only too clear. Nicky Gumbel shows that humans in partnership with God discover their freedom and their true stature.”
Dr Richard Chartres, Bishop of London
