The face of God : the Gifford lectures 2010

"Roger Scruton explores the place of God in a disenchanted world. His argument is a response to the atheist culture that is now growing around us, and also a defence of human uniqueness. He rebuts the claim that there is no meaning or purpose in the natural world, and argues that the sacred and the transcendental are 'real presences', through which human beings come to know themselves and to find both their freedom and their redemption"--Publisher description.

  • ""Lord Gifford's bequest was to sponsor lectures that would 'promote and diffuse the knowledge of God'. Scruton is not a member of any Church though he believes that man's relation to God is the most important relation he has. Today God is widely rejected as incompatible with modern science but what do we lose when we lose that belief? The atheist, argues Scruton with great originality, proceeds by systematic acts of aggression against the Face - not the human face only, but the face of the world. Contemporary atheism is the desire to escape from the eye of judgement. You escape from the eye of judgement by blotting out the face - most assertively the Face of God."--Provided by publisher."@en
