Humanism and the Death of God - Searching for the Good After Darwin, Marx, and Nietzsche

Zusatztext Osborn covers ground familiar to students of the Enlightenment, but he does so with such clarity, depth, candor, and feistiness as to repulse the sense of the commonplace and intensify the urgency of the message-both for the wider society and for the church itself... Humanism and the Death of God belongs in the library of every pastor whose congregation needs a reminder of its relevance and responsibility. Informationen zum Autor Ronald E.

Klappentext This study argues that certain humanistic values, including belief in human rights and the inherent dignity and value of human persons as persons, are jeopardized by anti-religious forms of naturalism. Osborn explores the thinking of some of the most influential thinkers on anti-religious forms of naturalism: Darwin, Marx, and Nietzsche.
