Interesting... You know a book I read in school was called The Way of the (Modern) World: Or, Why It's Tempting to Live As If God Doesn't Exist and it was endorsed by Wells. Have you read it and does it follow this line of thought?
I have not read the book. Looking at the summary on Amazon, it may have come out of the No Place for Truth thinking which sparked the Cambridge Confession in 1996. So I suppose it is dealing with much of the same topic (but that's just from reading the summary). Would you recommend The Way of the (Modern) World?
