In his latest book, "If There Is No God ... : The Battle Over Who Defines Good and Evil," author and talk show host Dennis Prager continues his mission to persuade people to adopt Bible-based values. The book is based on a series of Q&A sessions with young people in the Midwest, where Prager addresses challenging questions about the nature of morality and the role of God in defining good and evil.

Why it matters

Prager's book serves as a guide for the next generation, arguing that morality must be based on objective, reason-based values rather than subjective feelings or personal opinions. He contends that without God, all morality becomes mere opinion, and he promotes Judeo-Christian principles as the foundation for societal improvement.

The details

The book presents Prager's responses to questions such as "Are good and evil a matter of personal opinion?" and "Is your dog's life worth more than a stranger's?" Prager asserts that "both God and morality are faith assertions," but that "the objective existence of morality is dependent on the existence of God." He laments that "we are raising a generation in America to rely on feelings rather than values" and hopes his book will encourage the next generation to embrace solid, God-given values.

  • In December 1998, Prager wrote a book titled "Happiness Is a Serious Problem: A Human Nature Repair Manual."
  • In November 2024, Prager suffered a catastrophic accident that left him paralyzed from the shoulders down.
  • Prager's latest book, "If There Is No God ... : The Battle Over Who Defines Good and Evil," is based on Q&A sessions held in Omaha, Nebraska in 2026.
