description: Terry Eagletons witty and polemical Reason Faith and Revolution is bound to cause a stir among scientists theologians people of faith and people of no faith as well as general readers eager to understand the God Debate. On the one hand Eagleton demolishes what he calls the superstitious view of God held by most atheists and agnostics and offers in its place a revolutionary account of the Christian Gospel. On the other hand he launches a stinging assault on the betrayal of this revolution by institutional Christianity.There is little joy here then either for the anti-God brigadeRichard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens in particularnor for many conventional believers. Instead Eagleton offers his own vibrant account of religion and politics in a book that ranges from the Holy Spirit to the recent history of the Middle East from Thomas Aquinas to the Twin Towers.
