The End of Faith
by Sam Harris
read by Brian Emerson
Unabridged

Religion, Terror, and the Future of Reason

Winner of the 2005 PEN Award for nonfiction

This important and timely book delivers a startling analysis of the clash of faith and reason in today's world. Harris offers a vivid historical tour of mankind's willingness to suspend reason in favor of religious beliefs, even when those beliefs are used to justify harmful behavior and sometimes heinous crimes.

He asserts that in the shadow of weapons of mass destruction, we can no longer tolerate views that pit one true god against another, the real peril of fundamentalism. While warning against the encroachment of organized religion upon world politics, Harris also draws on new evidence from neuroscience and insights from philosophy to explore spirituality as a biological, brain-based need. He calls on us to take a secular humanistic approach to solving the problems of this world.
