Case for Religion

<p>A brilliant and accessible rebuttal of The God Delusion from one of Christianity's most incisive thinkers</p><p>In this his first new book since the best-selling God: A Guide for the Perplexed (Oneworld 2002) Keith Ward turns his attention to the role - and the validity of religion over the centuries and in the world today. His erudite yet informative and factual narrative outlines the various attempts that have been made throughout history to explain religion including the anthropological psychological sociological and philosophical theories of key thinkers from Immanuel Kant to Sigmund Freud. Adopting a comparative approach the book covers all the religious traditions from West and East alike concluding in a compelling manner that not only are the world faiths much more than a series of theoretical perspectives but that in the face of discord and violence religious understanding retains more resonance than ever before within our global community.</p>
