The End of Reason
By Bradposted: October 28th, 2008
A short book by Ravi Zacharias. With as much hype that surrounds The End of Faith by Sam Harris, you would think it might be bigger. However, by then end of this quick read one quickly realizes why it is so short. Ravi’s response to the new atheism all that is needed.
While short it is actually quite insightful and held concepts that I had never heard before and have used many times since. Ravi is certainly on the level with Josh McDowell if this book is any indication. He is the Christian Sam Harris should have been warned about.
The title is slightly misleading. One would think this would be a direct response to The End of Faith, however it is actually focused more on Letter to a Christian Nation by the same author. It was a clear and well thought out argument. He sites the book and makes well placed rebuttals.
While reading it however, I was surprised that Sam Harris was able to make such an impact. His statements are the same as many Antichrists before him. In fact, many of his supposed proofs were combated by the early church fathers nearly two thousand years ago. Why he thought he could regurgitate them and get away with it, I do not know.
I encourage this book to Sam Harris followers. It is short and sweet and shows as Sam Harris has been shown, that these questions have rebuttals. Many times an argument can seem strong until a the rebuttal is heard. This rebuttal is enough to shatter the words of Sam Harris and is small enough to be read quickly for skeptics who get bored easily.
