This is an updated edition of A Shattered Visage: The Real Face of Atheism, that was published in 1990. Ravi Zacharias presents an excellent apologetic of truth and a defense of the Christian faith. Not only is it an intellectual defense against atheism, but it addresses the deepest questions of human purpose and meaning against the meaninglessness of life when atheism is taken to its logical conclusion.
