Answering the New Atheism: Dismantling Dawkins' Case Against God
"It has been a great pleasure to me as a long-retired Professor of Philosophy to have been set the task of readingAnswering the New Atheism: Dismantling Dawkins' Case Against Godby Dr. Scott Hahn and Dr. Benjamin Wiker. For this 'task' has been for me not a task but a sustained delight. Rarely, if ever, in my many years as a Professor of Philosphy did I ever have the opportunity to read such a compelling argument." --Antony Flew, Author ofThere is a God: How the World's Most Notorious Atheist Changed His Mind"Scott Hahn and Benjamin Wiker answer the arguments posed by the New Atheism effectively and decisively. They show, again and again, that atheists like Richard Dawkins are putting forth shoddy arguments, and once those arguments are dismantled by cool reason, there is very little left." --Dinesh D'Souza, Richwain Research Scholar at the Hoover Institution; Author ofWhat's So Great About Christianity"In a better world than ours there would have been no need forAnswering the New Atheism.But under the circumstances, I'm grateful to Scott Hahn and Benjamin Wiker for their essential service in cooly, rationally taking apart Richard Dawkins' inflamed rhetoric and exposing the absurdities, and the dangers, at its heart. Their final chapter is a particularly chilling, important reminder of what Dawkins' secular faith would lead to if it were more widely embraced." --David Klinghoffer, Author ofShattered Tablets: Why We Ignore the Ten Commandements at Our PerilandWhy the Jews Rejected Jesus: The Turning Point in Western History.Answering the New Atheismis a superb exposé of the Dawkins Delusion. Systematically and lucidly, Scott Hahn and Benjamin Wiker dissect and dispose of the fundamental errors that riddle Dawkins' attempt to demonize the divine. Dawkins has declared a jihad against religion and his main weapons are diatribe and caricature. But the authors refuse to respond in kind and instead turn to reason, the one tool that Dawkins seems to disdain. As readable and humorous as it is rigorously reasoned,Answering the New Atheismis the best antidote in the marketplace for Dawkinitis." --Roy Abraham Varghese, Co-author with Antony Flew ofThere Is a God: How the World's Most Notorious Atheist changed His Mind, a book denouced by Dawkins. Editor ofCosmos, Bios, Theos, a work with 24 Nobel Prize winners that was described byTime Magazineas "the year's most intriguing book on God.""Scott Hahn and Benjamin Wiker patiently, thoroughly pick apart the reasoning of Richard Dawkins until very little is left standing. I highly recommendAnswering the New Atheismto anyone who wants to watch scientific atheist bullies get their comeuppance." --Michael J.
