Can We Be Good Without God? A Conversation About Truth, Morality, Culture & A Few Other Things That Matter
Paul Chamberlain (Intervarsity Press: February 1996)
Chamberlain's book demonstrates the folly of trying to formulate an
objective morality apart from an ultimate, absolute and personal
standard. The book is entertaining in its Socratic dialogue format. The
author gives a fair presentation of the non-theistic systems of ethics
and carefully demonstrates why they cannot yield a true morality.
Chamberlain doesn't deny that non-theists can be moral. He simply
demonstrates why their morality has no rational basis. If
you're interested in Christian apologetics of this kind, you might read
Peter Kreeft's (Catholic) books, Socrates Meets Jesus, The Unaborted
Socrates, and Between Heaven and Hell. All are written in a similar,
Socratic style, but Kreeft's are as funny as they are intellectually
stimulating. Chamberlain's and Kreeft's books are a great addition to
any library. ~ An Amazon Reader
