About this product

Product Information

In god is Not Great Hitchens turned his formidable eloquence and rhetorical energy to the most controversial issue in the world: God and religion. The result is a devastating critique of religious faith god Is Not Great is the ultimate case against religion. In a series of acute readings of the major religious texts, Christopher Hitchens demonstrates the ways in which religion is man-made, dangerously sexually repressive and distorts the very origins of the cosmos. Above all, Hitchens argues that the concept of an omniscient God has profoundly damaged humanity, and proposes that the world might be a great deal better off without 'him'.

  • Hard hitting and eye opening

    Still reading this but I'm near the end. I've been reading some of it in bed before going to sleep which, on occasion, has been a bad idea as the content can be disturbing - but necessarily so. One criticism - sometimes he casts sideways aspersions which are unwarranted - eg castigating 'the ham actor and Australian' Mel Gibson for inaccuracies and bias in his film 'The Passion of Christ' - it's a film for goodness sake - ALL films are inaccurate and at best interpretative - and Mel Gibson was born in America. However, his arguments against (and for) religion are well thought out, forcefully expressed and accurate ... but I think I'll need to do some research to verify the accuracy.

  • God is not Great by Christopher Hitchens

    Compelling read. Enables you to see Christianity in a different light. However, no matter how compelling a read this is, I would advise you to stick with your Bible inspired teachings about God & your own Christian belief system. Stay strong in your faith

  • The tittle is as good as it can be ...

    Any one one who wants to know. Is there a God? should read this book. Well researched, witty and mentally stimulating. Every priest should be given a copy and made to read it.

  • Engaging and convincing

    Hitchen's presents a thought provoking and compelling argument about the redundancy of religion in today's world. Anyone holding even the mildest of scepticism towards religion should read this book to be fully converted.
