About this ebook

Is the existence of God essential to humanity?

A World Without God is a philosophical exploration that challenges readers to consider the implications of a hypothetical society without divine influence.

Like Dostoyevsky's enigmatic characters and the brutal depictions of reality in the book of Judges, this book considers--in the form of narrative philosophy--the consequences of abandoning faith in God. Journeying into the nihilistic haze of technological oversaturation and moral decline, Chris Palmer, PhD, confronts today's most persistent questions about meaning, purpose, and existence in a world adrift.

A World Without God offers an honest yet hopeful path for those open to God but unsure why they should commit to a belief they cannot ground in science. In its fresh look at key influences in literature--from Albert Camus to Jordan Peterson--this book examines how people search for meaning without a creator and how the absence of the divine can lead to chaos and psychological collapse.

Whether you're a Christian, a skeptic, or simply curious about the implications of a world without God, this book will spark imagination and deep reflection.
