Who this is
“He built the single most audacious argument in the history of philosophy — two sentences that claim to prove God exists — and after nine hundred years of the world's best minds attacking it, nobody fully agrees on where it goes wrong.”
The big idea, in the book's words:
“Faith should go looking for understanding — and reason, pushed hard enough, can prove the existence of God from a definition alone.”
