The original edition of this book was published in 2006 and reissued in 2008. Since that time, Loftus has received a good deal of critical feedback from Christians and skeptics alike. In this revised and expanded edition, the author addresses criticisms of the original, adds new argumentation and references, and refines his presentation.

This frank critique of Christian belief from a former insider will interest freethinkers as well as anyone with doubts about the claims of religion.
