Resumen del Editor

Bloomsbury presents The Rage Against God by Peter Hitchens, read by Peter Hitchens.

Peter Hitchens lost faith as a teenager. But eventually finding atheism barren, he came by a logical process to his current affiliation to an unmodernised belief in Christianity. Hitchens describes his return from the far political left. Familiar with British left-wing politics, it was travelling in the Communist bloc that first undermined and replaced his leftism, a process virtually completed when he became a newspaper's resident Moscow correspondent in 1990, just before the collapse of the Communist Party. He became convinced of certain propositions. That modern Western social democratic politics is a form of false religion in which people try to substitute a social conscience for an individual one. That utopianism is actively dangerous. That liberty and law are attainable human objectives which are also the good by-products of Christian faith. Faith is the best antidote to utopianism, dismissing the dangerous idea of earthly perfection, discouraging people from acting as if they were God, encouraging people to act in the belief that there is a God and an ordered, purposeful universe, governed by an unalterable law.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The book will be especially satisfying for those who share the author's feelings without being able to express them with such deftness, vigour and occasional epigram. Even those unconvinced or...only almost persuaded will never find it dull..." (Contemporary Review, Volume 293 No. 1703)

"[The Rage Against God] offers insights on the current secular disregard for freedom of belief of expression." (Jersey Evening Post, 25th June 2010)

"The Rage Against God is eminently readable book that not only delivers the case against atheism, but delivers it with style." (Christianity, September 2010)
