Rating: - A Powerful Book for Thinking Christians
After about a hundred years of retreat, Christians are finally storming the gates of academia. While this book is not the place to go for the most complete defense of the Gospel from a philosophical perspective, it is an ideal place for thinking Christians to begin preparing for a dive into the fray.
If you are tired of being treated as an intellectual moron by those antagonistic to Christ, this is where you start. It is not a manual on how to take on non-believers, it is a reminder ... Read More
Rating: - Can Christians live without apologists?
In a nutshell, Ravi Zacharias's Can Man Live Without God is a work whose premise is that we as individuals and as a society need God, the Christian God, to live meaningful lives. The main thrust of the reasoning in this book is that atheism, or "antitheism" as Zacharias puts it, is harmful or even deadly. "Antitheism" is defined as the denial of God's existence.
Some of the key points presented in this book include
Material affluence results in "anguish."
Living without ... Read More
Rating: - Preaching to the Choir
I personally really enjoyed this book. I found Ravi's arguments compelling and thoughtful. So, I gave a copy of the book to an atheist friend. A few weeks later he returned it with a note that said "You may wish to sow this in more fertile ground."
What's one man's treasure is another man's trash. I believe the best use of this book will be for Christians to read and understand Ravi's arguments, and be prepared to use them in personal discussion with friends and loved ones. Man can't live without ... Read More
Rating: - Yes, Man Cannot Live Without God, and Zacharias Shows This
Despite what many will say about this book, Ravi Zacharias is one of the best writers found within Christianity today. Can man live without God? No. But, sadly enough, there's plenty of people (such as such popular Christianphobics and Godphobics like Dawkins and Sam Harris) out there willing to give it a try. Thus a book like this is both helpful and, sadly, not helpful to Christians such as you and I. It is helpful because, truth be told, not truth made by man but truth brought forth by God, only (as God ... Read More
Rating: - OFFENSIVE
The reason I have chosen to write this review is that I want express how depraved and offensive I found this book to be.
Zacharias attempts to blame rationalism for immorality. So, therefore if one was to follow this train of thought to natural conclusion any Philosopher who attempts comtemplate human existence rationally and logically is encouraging immorality. Excuse me??? Any thinker who after honestly engaging in serious contemplation reaches the profound realization that they cannot ethically ... Read More
