Persuasions
by Douglas J. Wilson | Book Summary
Author: Douglas J. Wilson
|
In Persuasions, Douglas Wilson has provided a short, fun book which is a wonderful help. The narrator dreams he sees Evangelist walking a road which leads in one direction to the City or, in the other, to the Abyss. Evangelist meets other travellers, each headed, for different reasons and according to different persuasions, towards the Abyss. As they talk, the Great Persuasion unfolds before our eyes. These dreamt debates hold more clarity than we might expect in the real world, but each position (feminism, atheism, pantheism, agnosticism, etc) is countered with arguments demonstrating the reasonableness of belief and pointing to the truth of the gospel of Christ. |
Douglas Wilson is pastor of Christ Church, Moscow, Idaho, part of the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches. He studied at the University of Idaho, earning a BA in classical studies as well as a BA and MA in philosophy.
He has written too many books to list them all here, but these include, Reforming Marriage, Angels in the Architecture, Joy at the End of the Tether, Is Christianity Good for the World? and The Case for Classical Christian Education. He also appeared in the Collision, a documentary covering a series of debates across America with the late British anti-theist, Christopher Hitchens.
Wilson is also a prolific and effective blogger at dougwils.com.
