I don't have enough faith to be an atheist
« on: September 21, 2007, 01:01:25 PM »
Has anyone read this book, co-authored by Norman L. Geisler and Frank Turek? I'm about a quarter into it and the the arguments presented against atheism are absolutely horrible. There are errors on just about every page (so far). Do Christians here think this book constitutes good apologetics material?

I've read Christian Apologetics by Norman Geisler.  It was horrible.

I read that, too.  I think that is a terrible book to read if you are an atheist.  It was not something I would recommend to Christians, either.  I can't remember any objections I had to any particulars, but it was very tedius to read and very inaccessible.

I haven't read it.  But I usually don't read material by christians to athiests.  Usually the other way round for me.. if it is thought provoking that is.
