Product Description
Review
"This is sure to ruffle feathers on both sides of the God debate. Eagleton offers his own polemical chronicle of religion and politics from the Holy Spirit to the Twin Towers. Many will, simply, have to read this." - Bookseller, 23rd January 2009 (The Bookseller 20090420)
"Eagleton is that rarity, a non-ideological Marxist with a keen understanding of and sympathy for the human condition, not to mention an informed as well as sharp sense of humor. Serious Christians may be his most appreciative readers."�Booklist (starred review) (Booklist 20090831)
"The book is superb. Provocative. And, it''s easy to overlook this particular new book among the heaps of mystery novels and other best sellers at bookstores, so grab a copy now."�Readthespirit.com (Readthespirit.com 20090401)
�[B]etter than any previous book of its kind.��James Wood, The New Yorker (James Wood The New Yorker )
�Brisk, funny, and challenging . . . . One of the most fascinating, most original and prickliest works of philosophy to emerge from the post-9/11 era.��Andrew O�Hehir, Salon (Andrew O'Hehir Salon )
Product Description
Terry Eagleton’s witty and polemical Reason, Faith, and Revolution is bound to cause a stir among scientists, theologians, people of faith and people of no faith, as well as general readers eager to understand the God Debate. On the one hand, Eagleton demolishes what he calls the “superstitious” view of God held by most atheists and agnostics and offers in its place a revolutionary account of the Christian Gospel. On the other hand, he launches a stinging assault on the betrayal of this revolution by institutional Christianity.
There is little joy here, then, either for the anti-God brigade—Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens in particular—nor for many conventional believers. Instead, Eagleton offers his own vibrant account of religion and politics in a book that ranges from the Holy Spirit to the recent history of the Middle East, from Thomas Aquinas to the Twin Towers.
