Suspicion and Faith: The Religious Uses of Modern Atheism
Overview: Are there in fact some legitimate, even beneficial, uses for atheist critique of religion? The author claims yes, there are - if we take a closer look not an atheists' arguments against the existence of God but at their observations about the (often) self-serving functions of religious practice and belief. To make his case, the author examines the critique of Freud, Marx, and Nietzsche - three well-known representatives of modern atheism - and argues that their "atheism of suspicion" makes a much-needed contribution to Christian self-understanding. This book is specially intended for audiences within the church: pastors, seminarians, theologians, and educated laypersons alike will find much food for thought in these pages.
