Description:
When the medieval theologian Thomas Aquinas addressed the best arguments against God in his masterwork the Summa Theologica, he only listed two. The first was the problem of evil: How can God - who is perfectly good - exist alongside that which is against Him? His second argument: Is God really needed to explain the world?
In this powerful book, Patrick Flynn ushers in the best arguments for God while addressing the strongest objections. This book is destined to become the apologetic gold standard for defending classical theism. He clearly identifies what is it stake, and then provides the reader with cogent, accessible, yet potent defenses to counter those arguments that atheists routinely make to justify their belief that there is no God.

Review Quotes: "Flynn goes to great lengths to be charitable and to take on the very best argumentation to the contrary. Anyone looking for a primer on the best contemporary thought in the analytic Thomist vein should see Flynn's work as a reliable access point to this field."
