Description
Book SynopsisRichard Dawkins' "God Delusion" is the bestselling book. This suggests that its arguments are influencing popular culture, and are thus likely to be widely encountered by church leaders and members. This work condenses Dawkins' often rambling arguments into succinct form, and provides responses from a Christian perspective.
Trade Review"The Dawkins Delusion? Sets out to rebut Dawkin's central claims, particularly the one suggesting that knowledge of science should lead inevitably to atheism. It is a brief and concise book, dispelling with clarity and efficiency much of what McGrath calls the 'half-baked nonsense' in The God Delusion." -- Philip Wainwright, Salvationist
"For those irritated by Dawkins and his attitudes to faith, this book represents the response of intelligent Christians everywhere." -- Matthew Cowie, Life and Work
"At only 60 pages, McGrath's work is concise, coherent and, most of all, devestating. By the end of it, Dawkins' work is left looking like the hatchet job it is, the whole thing ripped to pieces by someone with far greater knowledge of the subject." -- James Kelly, Catholic Times
"McGrath's book is a fine, dense, yet very clear account, from his particular Christian perspective, of the full case against Dawkins." -- Bryan Appleyard, New Scientist
"...The Dawkins Delusion deserves to sell many more copies than The God Delusion. I am sad that Dawkins, once my hero, has descended to unscientific nonesense. McGrath makes more sense." -- Revd Jeremy Craddock, Church Times
"The Dawkins Delusion, for example, is excellent at challenging Dawkin's absurd demonisation of Christian history and the concomitant white-washing of secularist history as though atheists have never killed or persecuted religious believers explicitly in the name of anti-religion." -- David Quinn, Catholic Herald
