Your encouraging remarks about there being cause for hope in today's chaotic world are most welcome, Ann.
In somewhat the same vein, the intellectual turmoil that today attacks so much that is good and holy has led many to lose faith in the traditional human values of God, faith, and family which are the backbone of any truly viable culture. The traditional role of college and university, where freedom of thought allowed a contest of ideas in which one could hope and expect that truth would triumph and liberate mankind, has been replaced by woke agendas that denigrate true values and replace them with such evident perversions of God's creation as aggressive transgenderism. Modern man has been thrust into a world where rampant skepticism attacks all traditional belief and values.
My own response to this depressing intellectual state has been to publish a number of online articles defending the rational foundations of traditional theistic beliefs. Recently, En Route Books was kind enough to take some 41 of my articles and publish them in a single volume which directly addresses the depressing state of modern skepticism and says so explicitly in its title, "Rational Responses to Skepticism."
I don't expect to get rich selling this book, but I do hope that readers can use it to reassure themselves that there is really reason to believe in such a thing as authentic revelation given by a loving and all-powerful God who wants us all to find eternal happiness in the real world to come after this challenging earthly life. This book shows why religious faith is not merely pious superstition, but the only sane and intellectually solid way of looking at human life and the world.
My hope is that my own work will serve simply to augment the kinds of reason for hope that Dr. Gauger expresses from a slightly different perspective in her excellect work, "God’s Grandeur: The Catholic Case for Intelligent Design."
