Non-Fiction Religion
Judging by today's bestseller lists, one would think that
religion is either irrational or extreme. What's missing is
a genuine debate between the atheists and fanatics; someone
to point out that religion has value in the modern world.
Why Faith Matters is an articulate defense of religion in
America. It makes the case for faith and shows its
relationship to history and science. Refuting the cold
reason of the atheists and the hatred of the fanatics with a
vision of religion informed by faith, love, and
understanding, Rabbi David J. Wolpe follows in a literary
tradition that stretches from Cardinal Newman to C. S. Lewis
to Thomas Merton—all individuals of faith who brought
religion and culture together in their own works. Drawing on
the personal and powerful story of his battle with cancer,
Wolpe offers a moving statement in support of religion
today. In a poignant response to the new atheists, Wolpe
takes readers through the origins and nature of faith, the
role of the Bible in modern life, and the compatibility of
God and science. He concludes with a powerful argument for
the place of God, faith, and religion in today's world.
