This title offers an intelligent, insightful, and provocative compilation of critical essays exploring Christianity. This successor volume to his critically acclaimed "The Christian Delusion", brings together a stellar group of respected scholars - including Victor Stenger, Robert Price, and David Eller - to continue the critique of Christianity. The first part considers the wildly improbable nature of basic Christian tenets; the lack of agreement among diverse Christian sects regarding the essential Christian message; and, a counter argument to the popular Christian claim that it was incredible that the Christian faith arose if it wasn't true in the first place. The second part analyzes the role of ancient Near Eastern myth in the creation of the Bible, while the third part critiques the Christian doctrines of the atonement, hell, and the resurrection. The final part considers the incompatibility of religion and science; reviews claims for intelligent design and life after death; and, advances the proposition that science can help discover morality.
