DIVINITY OF DOUBT: GOD AND THEISM ON TRIAL
Book ID/图书代码： 05164012B58176
English Summary/英文概要： Vincent Bugliosi, whom many view as the nation’s foremost prosecutor, has successfully taken on, in court or on the pages of his books, the most notorious murderers of the last half century—Charles Manson, O.J. Simpson, and Lee Harvey Oswald.
Now, in the most controversial book of his celebrated career, he turns his incomparable prosecutorial eye on the greatest target of all: God. In making his case for agnosticism, Bugliosi has very arguably written the most powerful indictment ever of God, organized religion, theism, and atheism. Theists will be left reeling by the commanding nature of Bugliosi’s extraordinary arguments against them. And, with his trademark incisive logic and devastating wit, he exposes the intellectual poverty of atheism and skewers its leading popularizers—Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris, and Richard Dawkins.
Joining a 2,000-year-old conversation which no one has contributed anything significant to for years, Bugliosi, in addition to destroying the all-important Christian argument of intelligent design, remarkably—yes, scarily—shakes the very foundations of Christianity by establishing that Jesus was not born of a virgin, and hence was not the son of God, that scripture in reality supports the notion of no free will, and that the immortality of the soul was a pure invention of Plato that Judaism and Christianity were forced to embrace because without it there is no life after death.
Destined to be an all-time classic, Bugliosi’s Divinity of Doubt sets a new course amid the explosion of bestselling books on atheism and theism—the middle path of agnosticism. In recognizing the limits of what we know, Bugliosi demonstrates that agnosticism is
he most intelligent and responsible position to take on the eternal question of God’s existence.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 文森特•巴格鲁斯，被视为全国家最为杰出的检察官，曾经办理过上半个世纪最为臭名昭著的几起谋杀案件——查尔斯•曼森，O.J.辛普森和•哈维•奥斯瓦尔德谋杀案。
在他辉煌事业中的，最具有争议的著作是将自己检察官锐利的双眼投射到至高的目标—上帝—之上。为了阐述自己的不可知论观点，巴格鲁斯写下了自己对于上帝、宗教组织、有神论和无神论的控告书。一神论者将因巴格鲁斯对于他们的强有力的反驳而感到困惑无助。巴格鲁斯用自己具有标志性的深邃逻辑和锐利智慧揭露了无神论者的智慧的缺乏，并且直面抨击了无神论者的领袖人物—克里斯托弗希钦斯、山姆•哈里斯和理查德•道金斯。
这场有着两千年历史的争论，多年来都没有新的进展，巴格鲁斯的加入不仅击破了基督教关于智慧设计论的全部重要观点，更是撼动了整个基督教义。他指出耶稣并不是由圣女诞下的，因此，他并非是上帝之子，而这段圣经故事一直暗示着人们现实生活中不存在自由意志；灵魂不灭的说法只是柏拉图创造出来的，而犹太教和基督教不得不吸收这一理念，不然就只得承认人死后生命即消亡不在的事实。
巴格鲁斯的《质疑神学》立志成为关于有无神论畅销书中的又一经典之作，走的是中间线路的不可知论。在意识到人类所知有限后，巴格鲁斯指出不可知论才是讨论上帝存在与否的最为明智和负责的态度。(LNL)
