Description
Our biggest crises are getting worse: environmental destruction, poverty in the midst of obscene wealth, and one war after another. Secularism makes this inevitable by denying any moral authority higher than the ruling classes.
By contrast, religious traditions offer accounts of who made us, for what purpose, and how we should live. Monotheism, defined as divine harmony, provides a philosophical and ethical framework necessary for people to lead better lives. In "Why Progressives Need God: An Ethical Defence of Monotheism", Jonathan Clatworthy argues that in order to resolve our crises, progressives need to reaffirm the goodness of the natural environment as a blessing from a good god.
Drawing on cultural analysis, political philosophy, Christian apologetics and theodicy, this book shows why monotheism is essential for creating a more just and sustainable world.
