About this ebook
This book addresses one of the oldest questions posed to religious believers: if God made everything, who made God? Most recently levelled by the New Atheists, the question was asked in ancient Greece and has preoccupied religious believers in the centuries since. Here, renowned scholar Robert Banks explores the history of the objection - from its earliest vocalization in the ancient world to its most famous opponents, Freud, Marx, and others. Ideal for anyone with a general interest in new atheism, for those studying religion, or wanting to sort out what (if any) elements of their idea of God are man-made.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5An excellent survey of the major proponents of the idea that God has been created in response to human need, sociology, psychology etc. Unfortunately assumes the objective reality of the existence of God without defending it and recommends Christians listen to the critiques to make sure their beliefs about God are consistent with what God has revealed in Scripture. So, essentially, author has not actually answered the foundational question: is God only a projection of humans or an objectively existing reality?
