{"product_id":"outgrowing-god-alan-jeskin-9781449988081","title":"Outgrowing God: Moving Beyond Religion","description":"In Alan Jeskin's thought-provoking book, Outgrowing God: Moving Beyond Religion, readers are introduced to a meticulously developed argument against traditional religion, and offered an inspiring pitch for using reason and compassion as primary guides for contemporary living. Unlike anti-religious narratives that read more like diatribes, the author uses the personal story of his own transformation from devout Christian to unabashed non-believer to make his case with reason and humor that reflects respect for all but the most fundamentalist believers. Jeskin advances the position that ancient holy books like the Bible and Koran are not valid sources of information about the natural world or appropriate references for modern morality. He critically probes the role of religion throughout the ages and challenges its utility in today's society. Finally, Jeskin makes a compelling case for moving beyond religion in order to improve public discourse in the service of humanity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alan Jeskin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1449988083\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781449988081\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/14\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.43d","brand":"Alan Jeskin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48436588445951,"sku":"9781449988081","price":12.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5d5c3320-566c-407b-91a9-492a4171732a.jpg?v=1777157083","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/outgrowing-god-alan-jeskin-9781449988081","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
