Narration As Books The End of Reason: A Response to the New Atheists
When you pray, are you talking to a God who exists? Or is God nothing more than your “imaginary friend,” like a playmate contrived by a lonely and imaginative child?When author Sam Harris attacked Christianity in Letter to a Christian Nation, reviewers called the book “marvelous” and a generation of readers—hundreds of thousands of them—were drawn to his message. Deeply troubled, Dr. Ravi Zacharias knew that he had to respond. In The End of Reason, Zacharias underscores the dependability of the Bible along with his belief in the power and goodness of God. He confidently refutes Harris’s claims that God is nothing more than a figment of one’s imagination and that Christians regularly practice intolerance and hatred around the globe. If you found Sam Harris’s Letter to a Christian Nation compelling, the book you are holding is exactly what you need. Dr. Zacharias exposes “the utter bankruptcy of this worldview.” And if you haven’t read Harris’ book, Ravi’s response remains a powerful, passionate, irrefutably sound set of arguments for Christian thought. The clarity and hope in these pages reach out to readers who know and follow God as well as to those who reject God.Rating Containing Books The End of Reason: A Response to the New Atheists

What should I say? Ravi is a good writer and expresses his thoughts very well. But there is a problem that all his books more or less have the same content, some changes in the words but more or less they have nothing new to offer except the changes in the 'names' of the books. For this reason reading his books has become a monotonous task.Horrible. Preaching to the choir. Only those who already agree and want to will not realize how bad the arguments are. Also...The End of Reason? Really? Did anyone consider what a terribly embarrassing title that is? Hes going to use Reason to argue for...the end of Reason?Too many people have probably read this book without first reading Harris (or at least, without reading him very carefully and with an open mind). Im not looking to defend atheism so much as Im trying to show some examples of
I saw glowing reviews of this book. It was recommended to me for Ravi Zacharias's "intelligent response" to Sam Harris's Letter to a Christian Nation.First, I am biased. Everyone is. A big part of why I didn't like the book is probably because I'm an atheist, and I've heard arguments like Zacharias's for a long time. Also, it began with an introduction by Lee Strobel, whose Case for Faith already made me groan and shudder in revulsion. Not because I disagree with his conclusions (which I do),
The subtitle to this book is A Response to the New Atheists. Actually, its a response to one atheists (Sam Harris) book (Letter to a Christian Nation). This just felt like a giant ad hominem attack. The book is full of these, along with false citations, unfair generalizations, conjecture, and tired arguments for the existence of God. Zacharias, a former atheist, found Christ when he was confined to a hospital bed after a botched suicide attempt. He is of the belief that atheists lead an empty,
The irony of this book is too much, if you didn't get that already from the title. I wonder if Ravi knows what the founding father of his protestant faith thought about reason. According to Martin Luther, "Reason is the greatest enemy that faith has," "Reason should be destroyed in all Christians, " & "Whoever wants to be a Christian should tear the eyes out of his Reason." Or how about one of the founding fathers of America, since he wants to remind the west who we are. Has he read Thomas
A great seminar that asks piercing questions to critique the ultimate results of atheistic thinking.
A rising tide of new atheists scathingly indict religion as the source of all ills. Their rallying purpose is to free the world of all traces of religion. Mockery is the prescribed tool and nothing is held sacred. Some actually proclaim rape to be preferable to religion and pedophilia to be less harmful than teaching a child about Hell. The Holocaust is declared the fault of Christianity. The atrocities carried out by Stalin and Mao are said to be the result of wrong beliefs, (thus religion) not
