Vincent Bugliosi, whom many view as the nations foremost prosecutor, has successfully taken on, in court or on the pages of his books, the most notorious murderers of the last half centuryCharles Manson, O.J. Simpson, and Lee Harvey Oswald.

Now, in the most controversial book of his celebrated career, he turns his incomparable prosecutorial eye on the greatest target of all: God. In making his case for agnosticism, Bugliosi has very arguably written the most powerful indictment ever of God, organized religion, theism, and atheism. Theists will be left reeling by the commanding nature of Bugliosis extraordinary arguments against them. And, with his trademark incisive logic and devastating wit, he exposes the intellectual poverty of atheism and skewers its leading popularizersChristopher Hitchens, Sam Harris, and Richard Dawkins.

Joining a 2,000-year-old conversation which no one has contributed anything significant to for years, Bugliosi, in addition to destroying the all-important Christian argument of intelligent design, remarkablyyes, scarilyshakes the very foundations of Christianity by establishing that Jesus was not born of a virgin, and hence was not the son of God, that scripture in reality supports the notion of no free will, and that the immortality of the soul was a pure invention of Plato that Judaism and Christianity were forced to embrace because without it there is no life after death.

Destined to be an all-time classic, Bugliosis Divinity of Doubt sets a new course amid the explosion of bestselling books on atheism and theismthe middle path of agnosticism. In recognizing the limits of what we know, Bugliosi demonstrates that agnosticism is
he most intelligent and responsible position to take on the eternal question of Gods existence.

About the Author

Vincent Bugliosi received his law degree in 1964. In his career at the L.A. County District Attorney's office, he successfully prosecuted 105 out of 106 felony jury trials, including 21 murder convictions without a single loss. His most famous trial, the Charles Manson case, became the basis of his classic, Helter Skelter, the biggest selling true-crime book in publishing history. Two of Bugliosi's other books--And the Sea Will Tell andOutrage--also reached #1 on the New York Times hardcover bestseller list. No other American true-crime writer has ever had more than one book that achieved this ranking.The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder was likewise a New York Times bestseller, andReclaiming History: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy has been heralded as epic and a book for the ages. HBO, in association with Tom Hanks's PlayTone Productions, will be producing this as a ten-hour mini-series.

Ken Blackwell

A very poor book written by someone with an agenda

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 March 2016

Verified Purchase

A terrible book written by an agnostic with an agenda. He clearly is no theologian and has got many things wrong. One example must suffice. He states early on that free will is not mentioned in the Bible and yet in the third chapter of Genesis Adam and Eve are given a free choice with regard to fruit on the tree in the garden. That is just one mistake and I could highlight many others. More research is needed to make this a theologically accurate book. Dr Ken Blackwell

Hardly worthy of the effort. The arguments are more lawyerly than scholarly.

Reviewed in Canada on 10 February 2014

Bugliosi might pass as a great lawyer but he utterly failed to convince me that he knows anything about the mechanisms of evolution. His slagging of Richard Dawkins is problematic. An objective assessment of his work is one thing but Bugliosi takes cheap shots at every turn. He is using his legal background to sway the reader, not his logic. Sorry Vincent.

Great book.

Just what I wanted another unbeliever like me and not afraid to put it in writing for all the world to read. There is no GOD!

Outstanding logic but...

Reviewed in the United States on 27 October 2011

Verified Purchase

Overall, this book was absolutely phenomenal. I feel Bugliosi does an extrordinary job at examining various aspects of religion and atheism while presenting logical arguments and explainations throughout the book. I ended up giving it 4 stars for reasons explained below.

I think Bugliosi hits the nail on the head when talking about philiosophical evidence and a very solid thought process to establish significant doubt on all ends of the spectrum; thus justifying the title of this book. I think the read, as a whole, was, while being a bit wordy at times (as are many philosophical texts), very brilliant. I think he manages to address the major points of religious debate in a very precise fashion and presents it in a way that the reader can understand.

This being said, as many have written here, my one critique of the book is his lack of scientific knowledge. Granted, as others have demonstrated, he clearly says he does not understand, nor attempt to masquerade around as though he understands, the science pertaining to religious debates. However, herein lies the problem with presenting this argument and opening the so-called "Pandora's Box." Entire disciplines of science cover the topic of evolution, which is not a simple concept that can be accurately portrayed over the course of dinner or some short period of time. It proves even difficult to broadly skim over the subject, as a whole, over the course of a semester in a graduate level class. This would be even more difficult to describe to an individual with admittedly minimal scientific knowledge.

For example, say I were to debate Einstein's Theory of Relativity. I would feel entirely inadequate to even address the complex issue of Relativity (ie. Evolution) if I did not have the grasp Algebra (equivalent to basic scientific knowledge), much less Calculus (in this case, biochemistry and biology).

In addition to this, as stated, his logic is very sound. Logicical analysis of theology is simply that, examination of the written word and interpreting the written and implied word as best as possible while practicing critical thinking and maintaining a sound, observable train of thought. When we talk about science, it becomes incredibly difficult to dispute (or in his case, essentially omit) evidenciary support and maintain a degree of logic in the discussion. Again, back to the Relativity issue, I may dispute that E does in fact equal mc^2 because I do not think that it is equal to the constant of light squared, that the concept of this exponential relationship does not make any logical sense to me. However, the explaination of this phenomonea is demonstrated through a degree of high mathmatical calculations that even brilliant mathematicians would have difficulty coining on their own.

Ok, I'm realizing this is getting pretty damn long, so to cut it short... Great book. Great read. Definitely support the author's train of thought. Really, really, really wish he had educated himself more on the scientific issues... Had he done that, it would have been a 5 star review, without a doubt.

rational analysis of "the God Question"

Reviewed in the United States on 1 September 2013

Verified Purchase

the book was an in depth analysis of the extremes of the faith systems relative to the existence and essence of the God entity from atheism to Catholicism and Protestant fundamentalism leading to the conclusion that the optimum ----and only---rational position to take on the question is that of agnosticism. contains an excellent analysis of manmade theologies as well as scriptural citations in support of various positions regarding divinities, heaven and hell, biblical interpretations, morality. the text supports the proposition that a generous portion of doubt is a healthy template for people of faith and that many tenets of major faiths cannot/do not survive legal profession protocols related to evidence, reason, and simple logic. some readers might take offense at some faith criticisms but the book remains a comprehensive analysis of one of humanities pressing inquiries with a brutal but even handed critique
