Does God Exist?: An Answer for Today

The essence of the argument is that it is still possible for someone who accepts modern progress and knowledge to decide to trust in God with a faith which, although it transcends reason, does not deny it. The roots of this decision lie in the realities of life, and for the Christian the decisive encounter is with Jesus, in whose person and acts God is met. But belief in God has also to reckon very seriously with the attacks on it made by many masters of modern thought. There are in these pages studies of some forty major figures in intellectual history since the seventeenth century, and there are fearless responses to recent challenges arising from Western or Eastern experience. The author is clear that, although belief in God can be verified by the modern person who is a Christian, many medieval beliefs cannot be sustained.--Jacket.
