Deepest Differences

A Christian-Atheist Dialogue

If you’re looking for clear-cut answers to difficult questions about God – or for your guy to score a quick knock-out of a toughened sparring partner – then this book is not for you.  But if you’re open to an authentic, no-holds barred, respectful dialogue about one of life’s most important issues, then take up and read.

There are no straw men here.  Sparked by a chance meeting between two book-club acquaintances and their discussion of Kurt Vonnegut’s obituary, this dialogue between long-time Christian Jim Sire and forthright atheist Carl Peraino developed through extended e-mail exchanges exploring minds and brains, science and morality, faith and reason, God and violence, doubt and rhetoric.  You’ll find much to ponder, weigh and explore in this lively, down-to-earth book.

A study guide is included if you wish to delve deeper into any of the issues raised.
