Product DescriptionRun a Quick Search on "Patience with God" by Frank Schaeffer to Browse Related Products:Browse more products related to "Patience with God"Browse more products related to "Frank Schaeffer"Publisher's noteThe author of Crazy for God outlines a provocative argument for atheist and fundamentalist readers that draws on the lessons he learned during his evangelical past on how to live a worthwhile and truth-based life in spite of doubts or extreme beliefs. Frank Schaeffer has a problem with Dawkins, Hitchens, Harris, Dennett, and the rest of the New Atheists--the self-anointed "Brights." He also has a problem with the Rick Warrens and Tim LaHayes of the world. The problem is that he doesn't see much of a difference between the two camps. As Schaeffer puts it, they "often share the same fallacy: truth claims that reek of false certainties. I believe that there is an alternative that actually matches the way life is "lived" rather than how we usually talk about belief." Sparing no one and nothing, including himself and his fiery evangelical past, and invoking subtleties too easily ignored by the pontificators, Schaeffer adds much-needed nuance to the conversation. "My writing has smoked out so many individuals who seem to be thinking about the same questions. I hope that this book will provide a meeting place for us, the scattered refugees of what I'll call The Church of Hopeful Uncertainty."
