Reviews:
The End of Christianity “A must-read for theologians, pastors…”
Solidly grounded in traditional theology and the obvious product of deep biblical reflection, The End of Christianity is, in my view, a must-read for theologians, pastors, elders, scientists who speak on faith-science issues, and laypersons alike. No other theodicy I have studied more uncompromisingly or with greater integrity reconciles Scripture with scientific discovery. In fact, [...]
Dembski’s latest work is brilliant!
“Dembski’s latest work is brilliant! Some Critics rank it with the works of CS Lewis and Francis Schaeffer. And rightly so!” Prof. Dr. Peter Zöller-Greer Member of the New York Academy of Sciences; Fellow and Member of the International Society for Complexity, Information and Design; Awarded Member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Read the entire review [...]
Deeply Probative. Theologically and Scientifically Uncompromising. An Absolute Must-Read.
“The obvious product of deep biblical reflection and solidly grounded in well-established traditional theology, The End of Christianity is an incalculably valuable contribution to the forum of Christian thought on the subject of theodicy, and as such, in my view, is a must-read for theologians, pastors, elders, and laypersons alike. No other theodicy that I [...]

The End of Christianity “deserves a wide readership, and serious attention…”
When Bill Dembski employs his characteristic brilliance and boldness to illuminate one of theology’s thorniest problems, as he does in The End of Christianity, the result is a book that deserves a wide readership, and serious attention from the experts. Phillip E. Johnson, author of Darwin on Trial.
J.P Moreland says The End of Christianity “towers over the others in profundity and quality”
Happily, there are many good books being written today. But it is rare, indeed, to find a book that towers over the others in profundity and quality. William Dembski’s The End of Christianity is such a book. It is so interesting and well-written that I could not put it down. But more importantly, I have [...]
The End of Christianity offers coherent answers to the problem of a perfect God in an imperfect world
Addressing the problem of a perfect God in an imperfect world, this book offers the most coherent answer to this question I’ve ever read. William A. Dembski has given us a bold and uncompromising theodicy that both confirms Christian orthodoxy and makes peace among our family of believers. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “We [...]
The End of Christianity “a refreshing approach”
William Dembski’s latest book, The End of Christianity: Finding a Good God in an Evil World, shows how the traditional Christian doctrine that sin entered the world through humans is not refuted by the evidence that natural evils (earthquakes, storms, disease, death, etc.) are chronologically much older than humans within the universe. Because time within [...]
The End of Christianity is “philosophical theology at its best”
This book is an example of philosophical theology at its best. It contains fascinating and even exciting new perspectives on the problem of evil. While I am not convinced of every point that the author makes, The End of Christianity should be read by anyone who is interested in a Christian approach to natural and [...]
Dembski’s The End of Christianity “enormously impressive and valuable”
William Dembski’s profound interdisciplinary expertise in writing about the most contested terrain at the intersection of science, philosophy, and religion is enormously impressive and valuable and puts him in the exalted company of contemporary authorities such as Stanley L. Jaki and Alister McGrath. He knows, and shows, that “the only way to avoid metaphysics is [...]
Josh and Sean McDowell “enthusiastically recommend” The End of Christianity
William Dembski is a first-rate scholar who has focused his attention on the perennial challenge to Christianity: Why does God allow such evil and cruelty in the world? While staying well within the bounds of Christian orthodoxy, Dembski offers fresh insights that can truly be described as ground-breaking. Whether you end up embracing his solution [...]
Dembski “boldly tackles the problem (of evil)” in The End of Christianity
I am deeply grateful for Dr. Dembski and his work. Theologians have long known that the problem of evil is one of the biggest threats to traditional Christianity. Here Dembski boldly tackles the problem and offers a thoughtful and clearly written approach to it. His overall argument, that all evil can be traced to the [...]
“Readers of The End of Christianity will be greatly rewarded with a rich intellectual/philosophical/theological feast”
The End of Christianity is very different from William Dembski’s previous books, most notable of which were the academic classic The Design Inference and the popular best seller Intelligent Design. The present book deals with perhaps the most profound question to challenge humankind, the problem of evil. Like everything else Dr. Dembski has written, this [...]
The End of Christianity is… “intellectually honest, generous”
As his books prove with monotonous regularity, Bill Dembski’s brain runs circles around my own (and just about everyone’s, I naturally like to believe), but like all the others, The End of Christianity is also intellectually honest, generous, and respectfuland not, I’m convinced, as merely a gambit. Christian readers will find Dembski’s theodicy devotionally worthwhile, [...]
Endorsement for William Dembski’s The End of Christianity
For much too long, theodicy has been little more than a boutique topic in theology, a justification for the world’s misery that lets God off the hook. William Dembski’s new book goes a long way to restoring theodicy’s original claim to be a master science of intelligent design. It is arguably the most worthy successor [...]
