As we reminisce on the over forty years that God has blessed Ambassador International to remain in business, we are highlighting a different #backlistbook each week in a series called #ThrowbackThursday.
Paul Ferguson was born in Northern Ireland and studied Biochemistry at Queen’s University, Belfast and Law at King’s College, University of London. He practiced Corporate Law for five years in London and has been a lecturer in Law and British History in various universities in South East Asia.
After being challenged by students while teaching in Singapore to prove that God exists, Ferguson set out to do just that and thus was born his book God and the Atheist: A Lawyer Assesses the Evidence for the Existence of God published by Ambassador International on March 31, 2007.
We are living in an increasingly secular age where man seeks to build his own life without recourse to his Creator God. Under the guise of “rationalism,” Christianity is ridiculed as “out of date”or “irrelevant.” This contemporary materialistic age has philosophically popularized the identification of being an agnostic or an atheist. It has become “academic” to denounce the existence of God and to be an evolutionist in all the social sciences of epistemology. Consequently, secular Western Civilization has become atheistic in belief and life.
In each chapter of his book, Ferguson evaluates and sets out the evidence to answer the atheist’s objections to the existence of God.
God and the Atheist answers the most fundamental questions about Christianity, such as:
- How do we know there is a God?
- How do we know there is only one God?
- How do we know the Bible is the Word of God?
In a readable and humorous style, Ferguson precisely builds a remorselessly logical case using his legal and scientific skills to guide the objective reader to discover the truth of Who God is. Although the discussion often veers into the academic, Ferguson works hard to make it understandable to those without a scientific background.
