Media Reviews
This book offers a lively debate concerning the nature of morality and its foundations by a wide variety of contributors from both religious and nonreligious perspectives. The international list of contributors are all well-known and seasoned debaters. They include neuroscientists, analytic philosophers, theologians, Christian apologists, philosophers of science, mathematicians, bioethicists, and a theoretical physicist and Nobel laureate. Rarely do the perspectives represented by this high-caliber slate of contributors find their way into a single volume. The spirited debate offered in these pages deserves a wide hearing. -- Philip Blosser, Sacred Heart Major Seminary
In a remarkable contribution to a much-needed discussion, The Morality Wars brings together the academic contributions of naturalist, ambivalent, and theist thinkers in order to explore the different ways that they seek to ground philosophically the moral impetus that is human. As they seek to base their diverse answers to the question “How then can we live?” to borrow the question from the prophet Ezekiel, they touch upon urgent questions that the transcendental believer and unbeliever alike must confront for life in society for this 21st century. -- Davi Charles Gomes, International Director of the World Reformed Fellowship; Former Chancellor of Mackenzie University, São Paulo
This is a fantastically useful and stimulating book. It provides an overview of a range of positions on the origins and nature of morality articulated by some of their best-known and most impressive defenders. -- Stephen Law, editor of Think; honorary research fellow in philosophy at Roehampton
