Abstract
Here is an e-mail exchange like few others. A lead singer/songwriter for a punk band, "Bad Religion," exchanges honest and deep reflections with a history professor in a Christian college (who is a fan of "Bad Religion"). They talk about religion and science and naturalism and Christianity. Added to their inviting dialogue are sidebars that give further insights and illuminate the material being discussed plus an occasional "inquiry box" which raises questions addressed to the reader. Finally the endnotes lead to further exploration and reflection. The chapter headings in this book are simply indicators of the main subject of the dialogue exchange in the e-mails. For instance, the chapter titles include "Getting Acquainted," "Inquisitions," "Hating God," "Theism Versus Naturalism," "Freedom and Environment," and "Christianity and Violence."
