THE
SURVIVAL OF GOD

Topics: Atheism; Education; Faith; Modernism; Naturalism; Skepticism

Reference: Matthew 16:13–19

The most extraordinary thing about the twentieth century was the failure of God to die. The collapse of mass religious belief, especially among the educated and prosperous, had been widely and confidently predicted. It did not take place. Somehow, God survived—flourished even.

—Paul Johnson, The Quest for God (HarperCollins, 1997)
