Making Sense of Good and Evil
By Geoffrey Vincent
Fear of death, the regeneration of life and the choice between good and evil are universal themes for humanity. The book challenges dogma surrounding these themes. It argues that the concept of ‘a fall’ is an invention based on an incorrect interpretation of what drove the behaviour of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. The traditional teaching that humanity is more inclined towards evil rather than good contradicts the kind-heartedness of many atheists who naturally display love and compassion and a deep sense of grief for a neighbour or friend when all is lost through fire, flood, accident, sickness, or any other tragedy. The book explains why most everyday people, whether a believer, agnostic or atheist, have an inherent sense of good rather than evil.
