| "You believe that the Bible is the word of God, that Jesus is the son of God, and that only those who place their faith in Jesus will find salvation after death..." (from the first line) From the author of the "New York Times" bestseller "The End of Faith" comes a new, hard-hitting, and impassioned book that continues his fight against the rigid adherence to Christian religious literalism that is altering the face of this nation.
Annotation:
Sam Harris's rebuttal of Christian fundamentalism is occasioned by the many letters he received following the publication of his best selling THE END OF FAITH. Many readers were astounded that he said he does not believe in God and does not consider the Bible to be an authoritative source. Harris addresses what he sees as the rigid certitude with which fundamentalist Christians put forth their views, as well as the views themselves--such as intelligent design, the literal readings of texts, and pronouncements about morality. He also reasserts the central idea from THE END OF FAITH that there is a link between religion and violence.
