God Dialogues, The

By Robert J. Howell

Book Description

Three friends embark on a cross-country journey that becomes an unexpected exploration of life's deepest questions. When Gene, a recent engineering graduate, confesses his uncertainty about finding meaningful direction in life, his companions Theodore and Eva offer radically different perspectives that spark an extraordinary philosophical adventure.

What begins as a conversation about purpose evolves into a comprehensive examination of whether God exists. Theodore champions the theist position, presenting classical and contemporary arguments for divine existence. Eva counters with atheist reasoning, drawing from modern scientific discoveries in biology and physics. Gene represents the agnostic viewpoint, wrestling with uncertainty while seeking truth through careful consideration of all evidence.

Their dialogue unfolds naturally during long highway stretches and roadside stops, making complex philosophical concepts accessible to anyone curious about these fundamental questions. The friends explore traditional proofs for God's existence alongside cutting-edge scientific perspectives, examine the relationship between morality and belief, and investigate how faith and reason intersect in human experience.

Rather than advocating for any single position, this philosophical road trip presents the strongest arguments from each perspective with fairness and clarity. Readers join Gene in weighing evidence, questioning assumptions, and discovering how beliefs about God's existence connect to finding meaning and purpose in life.

The journey offers both intellectual rigor and personal relevance, making profound questions about existence, meaning, and the divine approachable for thoughtful seekers from any background.
