An arsenal against atheism!

Here is the table of contents:IntroductionChapter One: The Crazy SixtiesChapter Two: The Erosion of FreedomChapter Three: The New AtheismChapter Four: Defining AtheismChapter Five: The Causes of AtheismChapter Six: Logic and the AtheistsChapter Seven: Logical Errors of AtheismChapter Eight: MaterialismChapter Nine: A Sample DebateChapter Ten: Jesus and PaulChapter Eleven: Atheists in ActionConclusionAppendix: Answers to Common ObjectionsBibliographyAfter reading this book, you'll have a good idea of what atheism is and how to confront it. Dr. Morey looks at the fundamental presuppositions of atheism and finds the fallacies. Here is one of my favorite parts (under "Materialism") in the book (p.98):They (atheists) would have us accept:a. Everything ultimately came from nothing.b. Order came from chaos.c. Harmony came from discord.d. Life came from nonlife.e. Reason came from irrationality.f. Personality came from nonpersonality.g. Morality came from amorality.Believing the above claims of the materialist takes far greater faith than believing that a personal, infinite, rational God created this universe!NEW ATHEISM is also a good critique on George Smith and Madalyn Murray O'Hair and then some. Furthermore, you can get Morey's debate with Dan Barker. Bob Morey has a reputation for his uncompromising approach. I recommend all his literature.

It's So True!

Dr. Morey has exposed the true agenda of anti-Theist's: TO CRUSH RELIGIOUS FREEDOM!Dr. Morey gives a sample debate in his book with atheist Sheila Thompson from the Freedom From Religion Foundation. I've listened to that debate on audio tape and she played the same old game that all anti-theist play, such as Arguing from silence (Which she tried to make valid), arguing from ignorance and ad hominem attacks. She even grossly took verses out of context. And to make things worst, She relied on books written by 19th century German Rationalist Theologians or relies on writers that rely on those rationalist theologian's. How pathetic and unscholarly! What she didn't know is that those arguments, made by those rationalist theologians, have been throroughly refuted by many Christian theologians such as Dr. Gresham Machem, Dr. Edwin Yamauchi, Dr. James Robinson, Dr. John Warwick Montgomery, etc, etc. This book list all of them including the books they have written.Dr. Morey shows that all of the arguments made by atheist are logically invalid, historically inaccurate and even downright fabricated. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants a good does of how illogical atheist are and learn what their agenda is: DESTROY RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.

A concise and potent look at the folly of atheism

_The New Atheism and the Erosion of Freedom_ is an excellent introduction to, overview of, and refutation of modern day atheism. The author discusses how, in contrast to the rationalistic atheism of the 19th century, modern atheists have begun to recognize that the atheist needn't pay any heed to such theistic concerns as integrity, truth, or rationality. He goes on to lance a variety of atheistic thought-boils with clarity, concision, and forcefulness. Also included are several discussions/debates Morey has had with various atheists, plus a look at the effect of atheism on different branches of thought, plus material on the causes and types of atheism, plus an appendix of answers to common atheistic falsehoods, and more. Thorough enough to be convincing, but simple and to the point, this 176 page book ('86 edition) really packs a punch.

The best tool for evangelism to Agnostics and Atheists alike

I've used the methods and examples from this book on numerous occasions. They leave the Atheist with no intelligent reply. They leave the Agnostic in a state of horror, when they realize the stupidity of making claims from an Agnostic point of view. There is only onc conclusion when you are done with this book. Seek God while you still can! The final word on Atheism and Agnosticism.

Reveals the logical fallacies behind atheism.

The New Atheism And The Erosion Of Freedom: This book trains the average Christian how to answer atheists, agnostics, skeptics, free-thinkers and "know it alls." At a convention of secular humanist, rationalists and atheists in California, the delegates were warned that "Morey's book is one of the most dangerous religious books ever written." The atheists have good reason to fear for this book proves that only a fool says that there is no God......... Dr. D. James Kennedy: (Coral Ridge TV Ministries) Though once a quaint anachronism, atheism has today become a force which Christians must take with the utmost seriousness; therefore, I was particularly delighted to see Dr. Robert A. Morey's excellent new work. In this readable and understandable volume, Dr. Morey reveals the fallacies and failures of materialistic atheism. It is must reading not only for Christians, but for all of those that hold dear the culture of Western civilization." .......The Gospel Witness : Dr. Robert A. Morey, one of this generation's outstanding apologists for biblical Christianity, believes that the best way to confront atheists is to make a critical study of the origin and nature of modern atheism and unbelief. In his excellent book, Dr. Morey makes that critical study by taking the reader on a profound and absorbing excursion that examines atheism in terms of its history, motives, political expressions, internal structure and the methodologies by which it argues. Then with the expert use of research and accurate recording of his skillful debates with atheists, he proves beyond any shade of doubt that the arguments for atheism are self-refuting, logically invalid and do not correspond to reality. It has such an indispensable practical message for all Christians that I recommend it to all churches, seminaries, Bible colleges and missions.......... American Vision: Dr. Morey has written another blockbuster. This book will help you think more clearly. There are numerous helpful examples on how you can answer those who oppose the faith. This is a great book!........ Grace Missionary Services: If you are dealing with atheists you must get a book which is a gold mine on the subject!.......... Librarian's World: The "new" in the title is not a reference to the fact that atheism is something new, but that atheists have become much more sophisticated in their activism. The author begins with a definition of atheism and an analysis of what it means. Sample debates and arguments conclude the book, one that should be widely read by Christians
