God's Undertaker: Has Science Buried God?

By: John C. Lennox

Narrated by: William Crockett

Length: 11 hrs and 32 mins

Publisher's summary

If we are to believe many modern commentators, science has squeezed God into a corner, killed and then buried him with its all-embracing explanations. Atheism, we are told, is the only intellectually tenable position, and any attempt to reintroduce God is likely to impede the progress of science. In this stimulating and thought-provoking audiobook, John Lennox invites us to consider such claims very carefully. Is it really true, he asks, that everything in science points towards atheism? Could it be possible that theism sits more comfortably with science than atheism? Has science buried God or not? Now updated and expanded, God's Undertaker is an invaluable contribution to the debate about science's relationship to religion.

He needs a reader with some energy.

Where does God's Undertaker: Has Science Buried God? rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

John Lennox is one of my favorites: preacher/teacher/defender of the Faith. This reader, however, would be much better reading in another genre. I love the audible books but this one I will read myself.

Intensely interesting book, HORRIBLE narration

In spite of its well developed, fascinating proposition, it is almost impossible to concentrate on thIs audio book; the terrible, mispronounced, ear-jarring narration ostensibly delivered by some badly programmed, uneducated robot, makes listening downright painful.
I want my credit back.

One of his best

Excellent book! Dr Kennox does what he does best, taking what science has learned about life and discussing what they mean in terms of science and faith. He has a rather unique perspective because of his experiences, discussions, debates. etc, with wide range of beliefs, agnostics and atheists included--and all with grace and good humor. I wish he were narrating his own books but this was fine.

Compelling and very insightful

Lennox makes solid and logical arguments throughout this book albeit not as succinct as some listeners may like.

At times some were difficult to follow and could have benefited from some humour. But after all Lennox is a mathematician.

The only significant criticism however was the narrator. His slightly whispered tone and odd pronouncing of certain phrases had a somewhat robotic (think HAL in 2001 a Space Odyssey) feel. Which in an eleven hour book can grow tiresome.

Good book terrible narrator

I cant handle the narrator, I was really looking forward to the audiobook but cant get past the 1st chapter with this narrator. A real shame.

Excellent review

An excellent review of the arguments from science in understandable language for the broad public.

Great book but I recommend the physical copy

amazing content but it's complex material and as others have noted, the narrator is tough. I'd still listen to the book due to it increasing my chances of actually completing it by 10x! But I think I need a physical copy to perform followup reading.

Evidence for intelligence as the cause of life

Easy to follow, well explained progression in the scientific facts and ideas behind the brilliant authors John's statements.

Great book. Terrible narration.

As other reviewers have noted, the mispronunciations are distracting and annoying, and really detract from an otherwise good overview of the science-faith debate. (“He puts the wrong emPHASis on the wrong sylLABeI.”) I somehow made it through to the end...but I’m looking forward to re-reading the actual book, which I’ve already ordered. I would recommend the book, but not the audiobook.

Great content

John Lennox is a great thinker and speaker. Unfortunately the narrator mispronounced so many words over, and over, that it really took away from the great arguments made in the book. I kept thinking how the information could have been so much better delivered and impactful with Mr Lennox’s own voice. Still I enjoyed the deep thinking and especially the incredibly detailed medical descriptions of the complexity in our bodies.
