The Rage Against God: How Atheism Led Me to Faith
Autor Peter Hitchensen Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 dec 2011
In The Rage Against God, Hitchens details his personal story of how he left the faith and dramatically returned. Like many of the Old Testament saints whose personal lives were intertwined with the life of their nation, so Peter's story is also the story of modern England and its spiritual decline. The path to a secular utopia, pursued by numerous modern tyrants, is truly paved with more violence than has been witnessed in any era in history.
Peter invites you to witness firsthand accounts of atheistic societies, specifically in Communist Russia, where he lived in Moscow during the collapse of the Soviet Union. Peter brings his work as an international journalist to bear as he shows that the twentieth century--the world's bloodiest--entailed nothing short of atheism's own version of the Crusades and the Inquisition.
The Rage Against God asks and answers the three failed arguments of atheism:
- Are conflicts fought in the name of religion really just conflicts about religion?
- Is it possible to determine what is right and what is wrong without God?
- Are atheist states not actually atheist?

Christians and non-Christians interested in a fascinating account of one person’s journey from unbelief to faith in God.Descriere
What if notorious atheist Christopher Hitchens, bestselling author of God Is Not Great, had a Christian brother? He does. Meet Peter Hitchens--British journalist, author, and former atheist--as he tells his powerful story for the first time in The Rage Against God.
In The Rage Against God, Hitchens details his personal story of how he left the faith and dramatically returned. Like many of the Old Testament saints whose personal lives were intertwined with the life of their nation, so Peter's story is also the story of modern England and its spiritual decline. The path to a secular utopia, pursued by numerous modern tyrants, is truly paved with more violence than has been witnessed in any era in history.

Caracteristici
The rivalry between Peter and his atheist brother Christopher Hitchens, both high profile journalists, has excellent publicity potential.

Recenzii
The book will be especially satisfying for those who share the author's feelings without being able to express them with such deftness, vigour and occasional epigram. Even those unconvinced or... only almost persuaded will never find it dull.
[The Rage Against God] offers insights on the current secular disregard for freedom of belief of expression.
The Rage Against God is eminently readable book that not only delivers the case against atheism, but delivers it with style
The two best-written books were Christopher Hitchens's memoirs Hitch 22 and his brother Peter's The Rage Against God. Even though the authors set the benchmark for sibling rivalry, their books prove there is something special about them. Both are restless romantics, enemies of cosy consensus, original minds - and products of an education system that wanted all children to be cultured and questioning. Peter's book reads as if Cardinal Newman were reflecting on life after battle-scarred years as a foreign correspondent, while Christopher's book, if it were a thoroughbred horse, would be by George Orwell out of Kingsley Amis. I can think of no better pair of books for Christmas reflection.
Hitchens [..] blames the rampant liberalism of his generation; he was a teenager in the 1960s. They feared the constraints of their parents' lifestyle - post-war rationing coupled to the limitations of life in the suburbs.
A response to [Hitchens'] brother's and Richard Dawkins' 'rage' against those who can be so stupid to believe in God and so irresponsible as to attempt to encourage others.
This book is not meant to be a rebuttal of the contemporary atheist polemicists. It has the more modest aim of influencing atheists to hesitate over their choice.
A deeply affecting story of a journey to faith, interwoven with moral and spiritual history of the 20th century.
Top class stuff!
This book is a rattling good read...As we face the General Election, this is perhaps the most important reason for reading it.
Agreed mortality lives on borrowed time...As Peter Hitchens observes, God offers authoritative moral laws, and judgement upon those who knowingly break them.
A thorough going exposé of how godless utopianism- above all in the Soviet Union- has given a uniquely powerful licence to tyranny.
The Rage Against God is a magnificent, sustained cry against the aggressive secularism taking control of our weakened culture.
[A] short, elegant book. ... How can one not enjoy a book that informs the reader that Kim Il Sung was not only the "Great Leader" who created the prison state of North Korea, but also a protestant - and an accomplished church organist?
A calmly argued rebuff to several polemic authors...[and] a personal paean of sadness for the Britain of [Hitchens'] youth.
A believer's riposte to the book by his atheist brother, Christopher Hitchens, God Is Not Great.
An absolutely must-read book...Peter Hitchens's forthcoming The Rage Against God.
