A. C. Grayling
There has been a bad-tempered quarrel between defenders and critics of religion in recent years. Both sides have expressed themselves acerbically because there is a very great deal at stake in the debate. This book thoroughly and calmly examines all the arguments and associated considerations offered in support of religious belief, and does so in full consciousness of the reasons people have for subscribing to religion, and the needs they seek to satisfy by doing so. And because it takes account of all the issues, its solutions carry great weight. The God Argument is the definitive examination of the issue, and a statement of the humanist outlook that recommends itself as the ethics of the genuinely reflective person.©2015 A. C. Grayling (P)2026 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Critic reviews
A lucid, informative and admirably accessible account of the atheist-secular-humanist position
Precise and incisive … Mr Grayling is a talented apologist. His brand of humanism comes across as sensible, reasonable and characterized by generosity of spirit that is often absent from religious structures, many of which involve compiling lists of what is forbidden and dreaming up creatively horrendous punishments for those who fall short
A calm and intelligent look at different religions and their various arguments for the existence of their gods
Grayling writes with clarity, elegance and the occasional aphoristic twist ... straight alpha material
There is an immense depth of human wisdom on display here, and five minutes with any passage will have you contemplating all day
Undeniably thought-provoking
Professor Grayling himself neatly exemplifies the values of calm rationality which are at the heart of Stoicism, and which influenced early Christian thought
Debunks the teleological, ontological and cosmological arguments employed throughout Christendom for the literal existence of God … Those looking for a succinct analysis of these centuries old debates will appreciate Grayling’s insights
