About this listen

Is Atheism Dead? is an entertaining, impressively wide-ranging, and decidedly provocative answer to that famous 1966 Time cover that itself provocatively asked “Is God Dead?”

In a voice that is by turns witty, muscular, and poetic, Metaxas intentionally echoes C. S. Lewis and G. K. Chesterton in cheerfully and logically making his astonishing case, along the way presenting breathtaking - and often withering - new evidence and arguments against the idea of a Creatorless universe. Taken all together, he shows atheism not merely to be implausible and intellectually sloppy, but now demonstrably ridiculous. Perhaps the only unanswered question on the subject is why we couldn’t see this sooner, and how embarrassed we should be about it.

Well read (although there were a couple of words I am used to a different pronunciation). A good up to date discussion of the scientific findings. I wasn't sure if the section on archeology was, but I think Metaxas made it very engaging. At times I think Metaxas overstates the case (for instance, on the section on textual criticism); nevertheless, I think it is a well researched and enjoyable listen. Recommended =)

The section on archeology came alive

Metals argues that the culture is actively denying the abundance of scientific evidence that is building up in favour of the Christian worldview and the reality of gods existence.

He includes some useful historical insights that I found very interesting.

This book should make atheists/agnostics take another look and it should help Christians stand strong against the tide.

a useful addition to apologetics

Finally a book that pulls no punches and lays out the facts truthfully and clearly. We have been sold a false reality by those we had trusted implicitly with the education of our children. Mr Metaxas has revealed that the Emperor truly has no clothes and if we had only looked beyond our secular ‘Betters’ we could have uncovered this ourselves. This book needs to be in school curriculums. It needs to be studied and used as a conduit to the work of those whose work he has uncovered as truly worthy of the term scholarly. This will hopefully help turn the page to a new better and honest understanding of science, the world and our existence in this wonderful creation.

As a YEC I wasn’t going to get the audio as I thought Eric would blab on about the Big Bang, which he did but he managed to awe me on so much. The archeological story’s really managed to capture the adventures. This I think is by far the best of Eric Metaxas’s books.

Eric Metaxas best by far

I really enjoyed so much of the proof and explanations around the historical finds and the scientific evidence. it seems so clear that atheism is far more of a belief system than anyone gives it credit for

So helpful and insightful
