A Friendly Dialogue Between an Atheist and a Christian

An easy read with mind opening points. It's great to see how two knowledgeable people can discuss a hot issue with great respect for each other's perspectives and not get into a heated debate.

I just finished reading A Friendly Dialogue earlier today. I was absolutely astounded by the words of Palau and Zhao. As a Christian, I was able to really appreciate the depth of Palau's knowledge of Christian Theology. But I was even more affected by the athiest physicist, Zhao Qizheng, and everything he had to say. I have never really paid attention before. This book is a brilliant start to what this world probably needs most: dialogue between peoples of different beliefs. Originally to be called "A Confrontation between an Athiest and a Christian", the renamed "Friendly Dialogue" is a much more apt title for one of the most interresting and informative conversations I've read. This truly is a must read for Christians, Athiest, Chinese, Americans, and anyone interrested in opening the doors for communication.

between two mature and well educated men. We will not all agree on the existance of man or our purpose in life BUT, we do all need to live in the same world. I think we should take these two men's example. Instead of trying to get our own points of view heard, let's start listening... then we will be able to really have an open, honest, respectful dialogue. Quick, easy and thought provoking read!

A well-balanced book that goes into enough detail to produce a desire to learn more. Very eye opening concerning the views of an extreme Athiest vs a Fundamentalist Christian. If you have ever wanted to see a balanced debate between the two sides, this is the book to read.

This book is unique! With so many titles out there discussing Atheism and Christianity, this is the first I have read that openly, honestly, and respectfully looks at both sides of the arguement. Each author is well-versed in their approach and understanding of the topic, and give great insight for someone interested in this normally volatile subject. It's an easy read, yet profound. Don't miss it.
