Man Without God (Theological Resources) by John P. Reid Stated 1st Printing 1971

Description: Only in recent times have theologians taken atheism seriously. In the past the unbeliever has been conveniently catalogued as one who is in bad faith, incapable of commitment and without basis for moral values. The believer was convinced that belief in God was essential for man’s well-being and development. Today that conviction has been refuted in practice. Many thousands of our contemporaries profess no belief in God and, indeed, expressly reject the very notion of God. At the same time they are sincere, dedicated people with the deepest interest of humanity at heart. They seem to show that man can live without God and at the same time maintain and develop high standards of moral behavior. This is the problem that Joh Reid studies in MAN WITHOUT GOD. His approach is marked by a profound understanding and respect for the unbeliever. He shows how the Christian and the unbeliever are both searching for the meaning and value of human life. By studying what unites the atheist and the believer in depth, Father Reid gets to the root of the theological problem. I the past Christianity may have dismissed the unbeliever, today the danger is that the unbeliever dismiss Christianity, Father Reid commands the sincere attention of the atheist by the frankness and sincerity of his own statement of the problem. MAN WITHOUT GOD examines the historical and philosophical bases and forms of atheism with the object of opening the way to dialogue with the unbeliever. Such dialogue brings out the essence of Christian commitment and also points clearly to the task that Christians of the 20th century have to face.
