{"product_id":"9780994980915","title":"The Trial","description":"On the Seventh Day, God rested, dreaming of His Creation. When God wakes (after 18 billion years), He encounters a world filled with violence, desperation, and God-lessness. His active dream of perfection has become a total nightmare. In response to this calamity, God's Conscience takes God to trial in the Court of Heaven. To God's defense comes Adam, his first son, and Plato, the Philosopher. The Prosecution calls forth Rufus and Cicero, with Lucifer joining them. As the trial intensifies, new witnesses are called: Eve (Adam's wife), Jesus of Nazareth, St. Augustine, Mark Twain and the late Christopher Hitchens. While the defense tries to prove God \"not guilty\" by virtue of \"not having been awake,\" the prosecution attempts to show beyond a reasonable doubt a universe that evolved by itself. Will evolution exonerate the existence of God, leaving mankind in the hands of science and to his own moral equity, or will God reform the chaotic universe led into evil by His prevailing nightmare? \u003cp\u003eChapter One - The Womb \u003cbr\u003eChapter Two - Genesis \u003cbr\u003eChapter Three - God's Confession \u003cbr\u003eChapter Four - The Intruder \u003cbr\u003eChapter Five - The Judge \u003cbr\u003eChapter Six - Servius Suplicius Rufus \u003cbr\u003eChapter Seven - Adam \u003cbr\u003eChapter Eight - Marcus Tullius Cicero's Opening Statement \u003cbr\u003eChapter Nine - Satan's Testimony \u003cbr\u003eChapter Ten - Delusion The Scrolls of Mark Twain \u003cbr\u003eChapter Eleven - Plato and St. Augustine \u003cbr\u003eChapter Twelve - The Scrolls of Mark Twain \u003cbr\u003eChapter Thirteen - Jesus of Nazareth \u003cbr\u003eChapter Fourteen - Jesus' Testimony \u003cbr\u003eChapter Fifteen - Sons of God \u003cbr\u003eChapter Sixteen - The God of Chaos \u003cbr\u003eChapter Seventeen - Eve's Testimony \u003cbr\u003eChapter Eighteen - The Luciferian Principle \u003cbr\u003eChapter Nineteen - The Ghost of Mark Twain \u003cbr\u003eChapter Twenty - The Spirit of Muhammad \u003cbr\u003eTwenty-One - Of Islam and Honor Killings \u003cbr\u003eTwenty-Two - Free Will and Determination: God's Attributes \u003cbr\u003eChapter Twenty-Three - De Nihilo Vita Fit (Out of Nothing, Life Comes) \u003cbr\u003eChapter Twenty-Four - Christopher Hitchens \u003cbr\u003eChapter Twenty-Five - The \"Hitch\" \u003cbr\u003eChapter Twenty-Six - Satan's Closing Argument \u003cbr\u003eChapter Twenty-Seven - The Verdict \u003cbr\u003eChapter Twenty-Eight - The First Man \u003cbr\u003eChapter Twenty-Nine - One Hundred Commandments for Islam \u003cbr\u003eChapter Thirty - Epilogue\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Everly Books Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47014053249264,"sku":"9780994980915","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780994980915_p0.jpg?v=1763950940","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780994980915","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
