Just as intelligent design is not a legitimate branch of biology in public educational institutions, nor should the philosophy of religion be a legitimate branch of philosophy. So argues acclaimed author John W. Loftus in this forceful takedown of the very discipline in which he was trained. In his call for ending the philosophy of religion, he argues that, as it is presently being practiced, the main reason the discipline exists is to serve the faith claims of Christianity.

As a writer, I think I have a pretty cool job. There cannot be many occupations where you are allowed to spend countless hours in private contemplation, just imagining. Clearing my head (which often involves going for a walk or taking a cycle ride along the beach) is a very important aspect of my creative process (or at least that is what I tell my family and the people I work for). When my mind drifts, it takes me down a whole new career path, one that I spent most of my teenage years (who am I kidding, most of the last four decades) dreaming of. In my mind, I'm a rock star.

This is a breathtaking look into the intimate details of Jesus Christ, the Messiah, through his trial and crucifixion. Unlike Bill O'Reilly's version of Killing Jesus, this story captures an element of spirituality and holiness in Jesus, in that He is the son of God, a part of God, who rose again from the dead and left the Holy Spirit for all who believe. An introduction and conclusion by John Paul add historical prophecies to substantiate that Jesus Christ has risen, is the way, is the truth, and is the light.
