The Death and Rebirth of God - The Decline and Resurgence of Religious Belief in the Modern Era

By: Matt Buttsworth

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

The Death and Rebirth of God is an indepth essay that has grown out of the worldwide resurgence of religious belief since the onset of the crisis of faith in the Progress Ethos. Ever since the Enlightenment, rationalism mandates that belief in God was an illusion, acting as the basis for repeated Liberal, Atheist, and Marxist attacks on the belief in religion. But what happens when there is a crisis of faith in the Progress Ethos and the promised future it offers is no longer credible. This essay considers both the rationalist attack on religious belief around the world, and the resurgence of literal religious belief in Judaism, Christianity, Islam and Hinduism, concluding with a consideration of religious war. It is recommended for all those who like to think, and consider, at a deeper level, the currents of history.
