There Are Certain Realities

There Are Certain Realities

"The question as to whether or not God exists is, by definition, a simple dichotomy. Logic dictates that God either exists or does not exist. Either way, there are certain realities that are going to be true. This book explores some of those realities and explains why, in the light of those facts, it is the case that for some individuals, atheism is the only intellectually honest position they can hold. In some parts of the world today, a fundamental misunderstanding of atheism has led atheists to risk losing friends, family, employment, their liberty, and even their lives just for acknowledging who they are. These risks can only be realistically combated through knowledge and understanding. This does not require theists to adopt atheism but rather to open their minds to understanding a different perspective. So, whether you are an atheist baffled by atheism, an atheist baffled by theistic arguments, or find yourself undecided about your position and are just looking for some perspective, you may find what you're looking for here. A must-read for those seeking a deeper understanding of the atheistic perspective, as well as those seeking to better understand the theological apologetics underpinning religious belief systems. This work is intended to winnow away the proverbial chaff from the wheat, whilst remaining open to new arguments in favor of the existence of God. It is the author's hope that this book will aid readers in their quest for truth and understanding, by steering them away from bad and long-since debunked arguments, under the simple premise that uncovering the truth cannot be achieved, so long as one continues to embrace logical fallacies, unsupported assertions, or known falsehoods."

Clues to the Nicene Creed

This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable. The Nicene Creed's powerful summary of Christian faith has stood the test of time, embodying core truths and distinguishing essential core truths and distinguishing essential Christian teachings from those of lesser importance. As respected thinker and educator David Willis explores the Nicene Creed in this new book, he provides clues for meaningfully interpreting this most ecumenical of church creeds in the twenty-first century. Writing especially for educated laypeople, advanced students, and theological educators, Willis eloquently links the ancient creed to life today. As he points out, faith is constantly taking different shapes within broad boundaries like the creed's statement of faith with analogies drawn from such diverse areas as architecture, graphic art, poetry, sculpture, and psychological theory. Those seeking to delve into the creed or to deepen a lifelong encounter with it will be enriched by Willis's reflections.
