To say UM-Dearborn alumnus David Baggett’s latest book received high marks would be an understatement. Christianity Today recently named Baggett’s book, “Good God: The Theistic Foundations of Morality,” the Best Book from 2011 in the Apologetics/Evangelism category.

“This book mounts a strong case that the argument for belief in God on the basis of morality … continues to deserve a leading place in apologetics, despite decades of assault from professional and amateur philosophers,” according to Christianity Today.

Baggett (’88 B.A.), a philosophy professor at Liberty University, co-wrote the book with Jerry Walls. “Good God: The Theistic Foundations of Morality” is Baggett’s seventh book and was published by Oxford University Press.
