About this product

Product Information

In this book, Erik J. Wielenberg disputes the belief that without God there are no moral obligations and that notions of virtue and vice and good and evil have no place. Wielenberg argues that these terms do retain meaning and ethical import even if God does not exist.

Reviews
'â€¦ the book has much to recommend it and there are moments when it is quite provocative â€¦ there is plenty in this book to appeal to atheists, theists, and agnostics alike. It is both readable and rewarding; many interesting questions are raised, and at times novel and compelling solutions to old chestnuts are proposed â€¦ the author keeps things lively by inserting creative stories, passages from literature, and a breadth of commentaries from other thinkers who have wrestled with the issues he addreses. Anyone interested in the relationship between God, value, and virtue would benefit from adding this book to their collection.'

His arguments are often provocative. It is his way to make people reflect on what he writes.' Ethical Perspectives
