AN ESSAY IN DEFENCE OF CHRISTIANITY

Book ID/图书代码： 07861215B84223

English Summary/英文概要： Conceived as an accessible response to the anti-religious broadsides of the past decade, An Essay In Defence of Christianity will, clearly and concisely, set out the case for religion.

Rupert Shortt believes that Dawkins, Dennett and Hitchens are wrong. Drawing on philosophy, science, history and the imagination, he explains why.

Shortt sets out the case for the defence, debunking myths and addressing long-held presumptions along the way. With religion under the spotlight, and at the front of the political agenda across the world (70% of the world’s population profess a religious faith), a trenchant defence of the most widely practised belief system on earth is long overdue.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《保卫基督文论》被认为是针对过去十年间对宗教抨击所做出的回应，该书将清晰简洁地就宗教问题进行举例论证。

鲁珀特•肖特认为道金斯、丹尼特、西钦斯等人都错了。他通过从哲学、科学、历史以及想象等领域旁征博引，为读者们提供解释。

肖特用实际案例为宗教进行辩护，他谴责神话，同时对人类长期持有的相关假设进行论证。聚焦宗教后，不难发现宗教在全世界的政治舞台上也扮演着首当其冲的角色（全球70%的人口声称拥有宗教信仰），正因为此，对这一地球上拥有广泛实践者的信仰体系进行辩护早已势在必行。（DC）
