"In this tour of the history of arguments for and against the existence of God, Nathan
Schneider embarks on a remarkable intellectual, historical, and theological journey
through the centuries of believers and unbelievers--from ancient Greeks, to medieval
Arabs, to today's most eminent philosophers and the New Atheists. Framed by an account
of Schneider's own unique journey, God in Proof illuminates the great minds who wrestled
with one of history's biggest questions together with their arguments, bringing them
to life in their time, and our own. Schneider's sure-handed portrayal of the characters
and ideas involved in the search for proof challenges how we normally think about
doubt and faith while showing that, in their quest for certainty and the proofs to
declare it, thinkers on either side of the God divide are often closer to one another
than they would like to think."--
