Klappentext zu „God: All That Matters “
If 'God is dead', then we spend an incredible amount of time talking about him. 'New atheists' like Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens have created a huge new interest in debating (and demolishing) the existence of God. But in this book the philosopher Mark Vernon takes a more nuanced approach, pulling together fascinating strands from philosophy, literature, science, theology and psychology. He argues that there is something odd about the way God is discussed today - as if the divine were being examined in a test tube, in a search for empirical and objective confirmation of his (or her?) existence. Yet for people of faith, today and through the ages, God is nothing if not subjectively real; they know God, insofar as they do, in their lives. It's more like the love of a parent than Newton's apple falling from the tree.

Rezension zu „God: All That Matters “
One of the most thoughtful, accessible and lucid popular philosophers writing today. -- Julian Baggini, Editor of The Philosopher's Magazine He defends ambiguity and undecidability with an almost Evangelical zeal. And because he writes with such a delicate blend of deft coolness on the one hand, and fervour on the other, many are likely to be both enchanted and persuaded by his apologetics. -- Church Times on After Atheist Mark Vernon has an unparallelled ability to convey profound philosophical ideas in a manner that is both accessible and personal but also rigorous and challenging. Behind the friendly, humorous writing is an acute sense of what is truly relevant to us today. -- Raymond Tallis, author of The Kingdom of Infinite Space A light-footed scoot through theologies both ancient and (post)modern. -- Steven Poole, The Guardian 20120811 A very informative and useful little book. -- Church Times 20120907 Very accessible and readable. -- The Tablet 20121117
