| What's So Great About Christianity by Regnery Publishing Great Book | D'Souza makes a great the case for the existence of God, while simultaneously tearing apart many of the common atheist arguments presented in other books. Not only does D'Souza make a clear and well researched case for the existence of God from the philosophically side of things, but he also uses plenty of historical and scientific examples to prove his point. These examples are also used to sweep away the perception that atheists are somehow smarter and more sophisticated than the believers out there.
Through these historical examples D'Souza also demonstrates the many positive contributions that Christianity has made throughout history. He goes rights after the usual group of leftist myths that populate history textbooks and classrooms around the world. He debunks the so called "Dark Ages" and shows them in their true light as a time of innovation, science, economic growth, the end of slavery, and other positive accomplishments. Furthermore, over a span of three chapters D'Souza demonstrates how religion has been very supportive of science and not a hindrance to its development as you are taught in school with the leftist version of the Galileo affair. Additionally, the book clearly shows that overwhelmingly the greatest minds that have ever lived have been believers.
Moreover D'Souza shows that the crimes of the Crusades, the witch hunts, and the Inquisition are grossly exaggerated and in many cases had nothing to with the Church or religion persecution. These crimes are always played up by those of the left and these terms have unfortunately made their way into everyday language. D'Souza nicely counters these false claims with the fact that the atheist left leaning regimes of the last two hundred years are in fact the ones who have committed the greatest crimes in human history. In terms of numbers, the crimes of atheist and anti-Christian regimes like the French Revolutionary government, Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot, and other leftists far dwarf anything that has been done in the name of Christianity.
In closing as a strong believer, an engineer, and a history guy this book could not have made for a better read.
| | What's So Great About Christianity by Regnery Publishing A compelling rebuttal of atheistic slogans and `just so' stories | New atheists are here. But their arguments are anything but new. In his inaugural foray into Christian apologetics, D'Souza has done an outstanding job of synthesizing vast amounts of material and presenting it in a compelling narrative. The overall thesis is solid and well argued. Believers and skeptics alike will find plenty to think about in these pages.
Welcome to College: A Christ-Follower's Guide for the Journey | | What's So Great About Christianity by Regnery Publishing Atheists Beware...You Might Want to Have This Book Banned | | I will keep this review short and concise: Dinesh D'Souza will not be on any atheist Christmas Card mailing list, er, should I says Winter Solstice Card list. It has been said the greater the lie, the more some people will want to believe it. Atheism is so lacking in credibility, yet so many people ignore the truth and willfully adhere to this morally bankrupt philosophy. This book thoroughly demolishes the atheist viewpoint; it should be required reading at all universities, to offset the poison that the Liberal elites are forcing on students. | | What's So Great About Christianity by Regnery Publishing So So | Dinesh D'Souza is a talented writer. There is no doubt in my mind about that. I have read four of his books and they are all gramatically and structurally sound. Also, even if you don't agree with his points, he at least lays out a good argument for his position.
There was just one problem in this book for me. I don't believe Martin Luther King's non-violent struggle was influenced by Christianity as much as it was influenced by Gandhi. Keep in mind, Gandhi wasn't someone who spoke for any religion. He was more of a spritual leader to his followers. I am surprised D'Souza, who is an Indian immigrant, would give more credit to Christianity than to Gandhi. I don't think that is historically accurate. Alot of MLK's actions were clearly immitations of Gandhi's noncooperation struggle against the British. When MLK was laying out his strategies to combat segregation, he was probably reading books by and about Gandhi and not the Bible.
Overall though, not a bad read. I just want to say, though, that D'Souza is probably a better political writer that a theological writer. I have enjoyed his other books more.
| | What's So Great About Christianity by Regnery Publishing What's So Great About Christianity? | | This book, like the other D'Souza offering I read, "What's So Great About America?", was absolutely fantastic. Very well written and one finds it difficult to agrue with the logic of his agrumentation. |
