Letters to an Atheist<\/strong>:
Wrestling With Faith
\nby Peter Kreeft

\nNew Arrivals<\/strong>, 2nd floor<\/p>\n

College is an exciting time for students. It’s a time to experience the world beyond the narrower boundaries of childhood and it’s a place to develop intellectually, culturally, socially — and spiritually. One area many students struggle with during college is their most deeply-held beliefs. Students coming from a religious background may experience challenges to their faith they have not considered before. Students coming from a secular background may also be confronted with faith issues that are new to them.<\/p>\n

Peter Kreeft is a philosophy professor at Boston College and he presents a friendly debate between atheists and theists, trying to help them understand each other’s points-of-view and what it means to believe — or not believe — in God. In his book Kreeft explores many arguments for and against the existence of God. He is writing from a faith perspective, though his book is intended as a helpful exploration for atheists, believers, and those on the fence.<\/p>\n

The Library has many books, articles and other resources to help students who are interested in exploring issues of religion, philosophy and belief. Research@UWW<\/a> is a great place to begin your search.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
