Christians are called upon to be "contenders" for their faith.-- from the author's Preface to What's So Great About Christianity by Dinesh D'Souza.
God has come back to life.
-- from the first chapter, "The Twilight of Atheism: The Global Triumph of Christianity."
This is a very good book. D'Souza makes a case for religion in general and Christianity in particular, arguing from scientific, historical, and (mostly) philosophical positions.
I found the audio version at the library and didn't really know what to expect. I definitely didn't expect it to be a philosophy book. I find myself rewinding quite a bit, but it is worth it to understand his arguments.
I wish I could agree with the author's optimism that Christianity is triumphing over atheism. Perhaps in concept. But the number of atheists seems to be growing exponentially.
