The Dawkins Delusion?



From bethinkers February 2007 e-mail:

In The Dawkins Delusion?, Alister McGrath and his wife, Joanna Collicutt McGrath, have responded directly to Richard Dawkins claims. The Dawkins Delusion? picks up various themes from Dawkins’ book and exposes them to a ruthless and clear analysis. If you’ve read The God Delusion but weren’t always quite able to pinpoint the flaws in his arguments, then get The Dawkins Delusion? and it will show you the errors and hidden assumptions that Dawkins makes."

The Dawkins Delusion? isn’t necessarily the last word on Dawkins, but it will give most people enough material to respond to those who wave a copy of Dawkins and blithely announce “This is why I’m not religious!” If you need any further encouragement to buy the book, consider the recommendation of the atheist Michael Ruse, Professor of Philosophy at Florida State University. He is quoted on the front cover: “The God Delusion makes me embarrassed to be an atheist, and the McGraths show why.”
