Life without God

‘All in all this is an excellent book, wow.’ G. van den Brink, Theologia Reformata‘… Peels’s book is something like an anatomy of atheism: he does not try to dismiss the atheist, but instead expresses his gratitude for what the atheist has done for the development of theism. Both accessible and insightful, Peels’s book would be a great resource both for the classroom, especially one comprising both atheists and theists, and for researchers interested in the methodological question concerning the philosophy of religion. … Highly recommended.’ A. Jaeger, Choice
