Letter from a Christian Citizen: A Response to "Letter to a Christian Nation" by Sam Harris

Douglas Wilson has taken the operating assumptions of Sam Harris seriously and has shown what life would be like if the world were consistent with atheistic assumptions. He deals a final blow to Harris by pointing out that the morality he values is borrowed moral capital. What he knows of right and wrong does not flower from atheistic roots. Letter from a Christian Citizen will prove to be a painful exercise for any atheist since it exposes the raw nerve of materialism, the desire for a moral worldview that cannot be accounted for given naturalistic assumptions. - Foreword.
