John W. Campbell

    8. Juni 1910 – 11. Juli 1971

    John Wood Campbell Jr. gilt als prägende Figur der amerikanischen Science-Fiction. Als Herausgeber von Astounding Science Fiction, später Analog Science Fiction and Fact, von Ende 1937 bis zu seinem Tod, wird ihm die Gestaltung des sogenannten Goldenen Zeitalters der Science-Fiction zugeschrieben. Campbell selbst verfasste als Autor Space-Opera-Geschichten unter seinem Namen und stimmungsvollere, weniger pulpige Erzählungen als Don A. Stuart. Nach seiner Übernahme der Redaktion von Astounding hörte er auf, Belletristik zu schreiben.

      Christianity is more than just a religion. It is a social organism that affects the lives of every person on earth in significant ways, even if they are not Christians themselves. In the United States its influence is pervasive with often profound influence on public policies, but it is largely unchallenged as a belief system, relegated to that quarantined area outside the zone of polite conversation. Despite much academic ink being allotted to the weaknesses of Christianity as a valid belief system, the general public remains unaware of these flaws. In Cross Examined, John Campbell applies his almost thirty years of experience as a trial lawyer to dissecting Christianity and the case of apologists for the Christian God. He addresses the best arguments for Christianity, those against it, and the reasons people should care about these questions. His purpose is to fill a void in books on atheism and Christianity by systematically taking Christian claims to task and making a full-throated argument for atheism from the perspective of a trial lawyer making a case.
