Watson’s enormous book is bracketed by an introduction where he defines the problem he wants to solve and a concluding chapter setting out his findings. The vast quantity of material in between is not conducive to a rational judgement. I would have preferred a much more selective and economic pres...
This book explores suggestions for diverse ways to live in the absence of God. It is far better than my review and I recommend it.
