Synopsis

When Thomas Aquinas addressed the best arguments against God in his masterwork, the Summa Theologica, he listed only two. The first was the problem of evil: How can God—who is perfectly good—exist alongside that which is against Him? His second: Is God needed to explain the world?

Patrick Flynn presents the best arguments for God while also addressing the strongest objections. This book is destined to become the apologetic gold standard for defending classical theism against atheistic naturalism. Flynn identifies what is at stake and then provides cogent, accessible, yet potent defenses to counter those arguments that atheists routinely make to justify their claim that there is no God. Flynn defines commonly misconstrued terms and illustrates them with real-world examples. With sidebar definitions and detailed explanations, Flynn guides you in learning authentic reasons for your belief in God. He evaluates whether it's simpler to believe in God or not, and he provides numerous arguments from philosophy, science, and plain common sense.

Flynn's in-depth analysis will give you the tools you need to share your belief in such a way that those who deny God's existence will have to defend their view. Also featured is an appendix with a dozen additional objections and bulletproof replies for the existence of God.

2.7 Very mixed feelings on this audiobook. I think overall, the author does a good job of making an argument for the theistic world view. Some of the most compelling thoughts for me: The infinity argument of “if there’s if there are infinite universes / worlds or an infinite universe, then life is bou......more

Goodreads review by Nathan on November 02, 2024

Pat, in this book, gives an incredibly powerful cumulative case for God's existence, followed by another powerful worldview critique of naturalism, followed by a wonderful treatment on the Problem of Evil. It is written for the lay person, but doesn't lack any rigor of an academic book. Highly recom......more

Goodreads review by Mitchell on November 03, 2023

Pros: 1) Good summary of Catholic philosophical tradition arguing for the existence of God (this is also a con). If you can tolerate the cons (not all will be able to), then this is a good summary of Aquinas and his progeny. 2) Sometimes light humored (e.g. references to Yngwie Malmsteen). Cons: 1) Good......more
