An Atheist and a Christian Walk into a Bar

An Atheist and a Christian Walk into a Bar is Shipping!

December 6, 2016 by Randal

First you develop the idea. Then you write up the proposal including a sample of perhaps thirty or forty pages of text. Next, you spend weeks or months shopping that proposal until you land a contract. At that point, you batten down the hatches and begin the long and intensive process of writing, all under […]

An Atheist and a Christian Dialogue Review of An Atheist and a Christian Walk into a Bar

December 5, 2016 by Randal

Now this is a clever idea for a book review. Dan Wilkinson at Unfundamentalist Christians just published a review for An Atheist and a Christian Walk into a Bar. But he did so in a dialogue format with his friend, atheist Nick Bradford. Both gentlemen read the book and then they talked about it. They even got their […]

Do average Christians believe in the God of classical theism?

November 28, 2016 by Randal

In his review of An Atheist and a Christian Walk into a Bar John Loftus claimed that Justin Schieber and I are debating “a belief system no one holds”. Loftus is referring there to the alleged irrelevance of God as defined in classical theism to God as understood in Christian devotion. We can summarize Loftus’ claim with the […]

Responding to John Loftus’ attack on my co-author Justin Schieber

November 27, 2016 by Randal

As I have already noted, John Loftus has posted the first two installments of what he is calling a “book review” of my new book An Atheist and a Christian Walk into a Bar co-authored with Justin Schieber. Loftus raised the fatuous objection that the topic of debate — God as defined in classical theism — is […]

Two Early Reviews for An Atheist and a Christian Walk into a Bar

November 26, 2016 by Randal

The reviews for An Atheist and a Christian Walk into a Bar are starting to come out. Unfortunately Prometheus sent John Loftus a copy given that he is a Prometheus author. Not surprisingly, he is doing his typical polemical hack job. In the first two installments he largely focused on engaging in ad hominem attacks on Justin […]

An Atheist and a Christian in a Commercial

November 22, 2016 by Randal

Justin Schieber of the “Real Atheology” YouTube channel and my esteemed co-author just produced a fine commercial introducing our new book. The only thing it’s missing is some good background music to recreate the bar room effect. I think it’s a honky-tonk bar so some toe-tappin’ country rhythms would be good. Anyway, check it out: […]

An Atheist and a Christian Walk into a Bar … and two guys wrote a book about it

November 19, 2016 by Randal

Here’s a puzzle: what would make a better Christmas gift than one copy of Randal Rauser and Justin Schieber’s new book An Atheist and a Christian Walk into a Bar? Easy, ten copies! It’s now merely a couple weeks until the official shipping date of December 6th. (And note, by the way, that December 6th is the Feast of […]

New endorsements for An Atheist and a Christian Walk into a Bar

August 25, 2016 by Randal

 “Imagine sitting at a table in your local bar or coffee shop and overhearing two smart, energetic, and creative thinkers go at it over the existence of the Jewish/Christian/Islamic god. Thanks to Rauser and Schieber, we don’t have to imagine: this book is that debate. Anyone who enjoys a hard-hitting but classy philosophical dustup will […]

Update on An Atheist and a Christian Walk into a Bar

June 10, 2016 by Randal

As many of you know, I’m currently writing a book for Prometheus Press with atheist Justin Schieber titled An Atheist and a Christian Walk into a Bar: Talking about God, the Universe, and Everything. It’s been great fun to write this book with its casual banter, conversational structure, and exploration of some novel and/or under-utilized arguments. The […]
