God's Undertaker: Has Science Buried God?

Story
If we are to believe many modern commentators, science has squeezed God into a corner, killed and then buried him with its all-embracing explanations. Atheism, we are told, is the only intellectually tenable position, and any attempt to reintroduce God is likely to impede the progress of science. In this audiobook, John Lennox invites us to consider such claims very carefully. Is it really true, he asks, that everything in science points towards atheism? Has science buried God? God's Undertaker is an invaluable contribution to the debate about science's relationship to religion.

Story
Daniel's story is one of extraordinary faith in God lived out at the pinnacle of executive power. It tells of four teenage friends, born in the tiny state of Judah about 26 centuries ago, but captured by Nebuchadnezzar, emperor of Babylon. Daniel describes how they eventually rose to the top echelons of administration. Daniel and his friends did not simply maintain their private devotion to God; they maintained a high-profile witness in a pluralistic society antagonistic to their faith.

Whether taken as a book of faith or a cultural artifact, the New Testament is among the most significant writings the world has ever known, its web of meaning relied upon by virtually every major writer in the last 2,000 years. Yet the New Testament is not only one of Western civilization’s most believed books, but also one of its most widely disputed, often maligned, and least clearly understood, with a vast number of people unaware of how it was written and transmitted.

Publisher's Summary
Determined to Believe is written for those who are interested in or even troubled by questions about God's sovereignty and human freedom and responsibility. John Lennox writes in the spirit of helping people to get to grips with the biblical treatment of this issue for themselves. In this comprehensive review of the topic of theological determinism, Lennox seeks firstly to define the problem, looking at the concepts of freedom, the different kinds of determinism, and the moral problems these pose. He then equips the reader with biblical teaching on the topic and explores the spectrum of theological opinion on it. Following this Lennox delves deeper into the Gospels and then investigates what we can learn regarding determinism and responsibility from Paul's discussion in Romans on God's dealings with Israel. Finally Lennox tackles the issue of Christian assurance.
This nuanced and detailed study challenges some of the widely held assumptions in the area of theological determinism and brings a fresh perspective to the debate.

Lennox clearly wants that we buy this in print.
The bizzare yet lackluster reading of this made me want to "ekscape" from it's "monotonay"

A convincing defence of libertarian free will
The logic is firmly grounded in the scriptures. The flow of thought is easy to follow.
The final chapters have prompted me to reevaluate my position on the perseverance (preservation) of the saints.
The narrator was clear and generally easy on the ear. My only gripe is the very obvious and persistent /t/-elision, such as "impor'ant" and "enligh'ened". But, that's just an issue of accent.

A few issues
The mispronunciation of the word "causal" as "casual" is a serious narration error. Since causal determinism becomes casual determinism.
Lennox defines libertarian free will as the principle of alternate possibilities and does not explore other understandings of LFW (see the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy for a discussion of the subject).
This book still has lots to offer but has some shortcomings.

Narration
Unfortunately the narration made this book difficult to understand. Many words were mispronounced, the most notable being causal repeatedly pronounced as casual. Mispronunciation and placing emphasis on the wrong words gave the impression that the narrator did not understand what he was reading.
Overall a great book though. Very challenging. Probably just needed to be read by someone else.

Enjoyed it but...
Great book! Loved the content.
One fairly trivial thing I didn’t enjoy was the narrator shortening just about every word ending in ‘ing’ to ‘in’. When you’re listening to deep content and ideas by John Lennox and the narrator reads ‘thinking’ as ‘thinkin’ or ‘starting’ as ‘startin’ it throws you off a bit.
