Editorial Reviews

“I receive many dozens of books to review each year but I was hooked on Rob Haskell’s God of the Mind, quite literally, from page one. Haskell is a great story-teller, has a clear and engaging writing style, and spins the reader, topic by topic, through a tangle of tough issues and questions every thinking Christian—or nonbeliever for that matter—has struggled with. I highly recommend this book to the widest audience, and particularly those whose roots are in the evangelical Christian world.”

~ Dr. James D. Tabor, retired professor, University of North Carolina at Charlotte

“A powerful, personal excavating of the loss of Christian faith. Haskell is the real deal: an informed, thoughtful believer who examined his faith with intellectual integrity and insight and found it deeply problematic. An engaging read for believers and non-believers alike.”

~ Phil Zuckerman, author of What It Means to be Moral and Society Without God

“Rob Haskell is an “eXvangelical” minister who earned two master’s degrees in theology. This impressive book showcases the knowledge of an intellectual and the communicative skills of a pastor. Prompted by a crisis in his life his main concern is “how people handle evidence, arrive at conclusions, and make commitments.” Just consider how many times in this book he uses the word “question” (110 times) and “evidence” (123 times)!

While he’s not adamantly arguing God doesn’t exist, he argues “it’s difficult to avoid the conclusion that religion is a kind of mind virus.” He says, “it seems increasingly possible that God is only a ghost that is flitting around in our brains.” When it comes to the claims of religions, he says, “there is almost nothing outside the human mind to suggest any of these claims are factual.”

This is an awesome and potentially persuasive book to evangelicals!”
