Is Christianity obsolete? Can an intelligent, educated person really believe the Bible?
Or are atheists correct? Does science disprove Christianity, debunk it as a force for good, and discredit it as a guide to morality?
In his groundbreaking new book, What’s So Great About Christianity, bestselling author Dinesh D’Souza is the first to tackle these questions and challenge atheists on their own secular turf. Approaching atheism with the skeptical eye usually reserved for religion, D’Souza uses the latest scientific (among other) evidence to show why Christianity makes sense, why the atheists’ arguments are wrong, and why there really is something great about Christianity. What’s So Great About Christianity explains:
Why Christianity explains what modern science tells us about the universe and our origins—better than atheism does
How Christianity created the framework for modern science, so that Christianity and science are reconcilable, but atheism and science may not be
Why the alleged sins of Christianity—the Crusades, the Inquisition, the Galileo affair—are vastly overblown
Why atheist regimes are responsible for the greatest mass murders of history
Why evolution does not threaten Christian belief, but actually supports the “argument from design”
Why atheists fear the Big Bang theory and the “anthropic principle” of the universe, which are keystones of modern astronomy and physics
How Christianity explains consciousness and free will, which atheists have to deny
By revealing the superiority of Christianity, D’Souza raises the culture war debate to a whole new level. What’s So Great About Christianity proves that Christianity and science are not at odds with each other; that atheism is philosophically, factually, and demographically bankrupt; and that a resurgent Christianity is the real wave of the future—and atheism a trend of the past.
