Answering God Is Not Great: Why Hitchens Has Not Disproved God

By Samuel D. Thomas Sr.

Christopher Hitchens delivered one of the most famous attacks on faith of the modern era. He moved from religious hypocrisy, cruelty, coercion, and violence to a sweeping verdict against God. But did his evidence prove his conclusion?

Answering God Is Not Great follows Hitchens chapter by chapter and answers his nineteen-part case in the same order. Samuel D. Thomas Sr. does not excuse crimes committed under religious language or pretend that every believer has represented God faithfully. Instead, he asks the question Hitchens repeatedly left unanswered: Do the failures of human beings prove that God is false?

History, Scripture, morality, medicine, design, miracles, secularism, human dignity, judgment, and the resurrection of Jesus Christ are examined claim by claim. Strong language is tested as an argument. Historical examples are separated from the conclusions drawn from them. Christianity is addressed on its own terms rather than buried inside a generic category called religion.

Written for Christians facing hard objections, questioning believers, skeptics willing to hear the other side, and readers who admire Hitchens's wit but want his reasoning examined, this is a direct and unapologetic Christian answer.

Read the charge. Read the answer. Then ask, "What did Hitchens actually prove?"
