Omschrijving
Schellenberg’s reasoning is very clear, and his writing is beautiful. The book is written in an accessible way; I believe it would make an excellent textbook in many undergraduate philosophy of religion courses ... Schellenberg is rightly celebrated for encouraging philosophers and theologians to take seriously the idea of the deep future.

The book is written in an accessible way; I believe it would make an excellent textbook in many undergraduate philosophy of religion courses ... Schellenberg is rightly celebrated for encouraging philosophers and theologians to take seriously the idea of the deep future.
Over the last quarter century, atheism has come out of the closet and is today more acceptable—even respectable—than at any time in history. But the militancy often associated with the strong atheism that asserts God’s nonexistence is not enough to build a movement. We need a progressive atheism, which the philosopher J. L. Schellenberg provides us with in this brilliantly-argued and clearly-written book. Progressive Atheism is must reading for everyone interested in these ultimate questions
How can atheism be "progressive"? First, by being based on moral progress. Such progress alters our understanding of God's perfect goodness, yielding an idea of God that is "too good to be true." Second, by freeing us to explore new spiritual terrain. Schellenberg acts as guide, ending the book with a fascinating tour of a variety of live religious possibilities. For open-minded readers, this book is a breath of fresh air. Highly recommended!
