Product Description

This product is also available in these value bundles

World-renowned scientist Richard Dawkins writes in The God Delusion: 'If this book works as I intend, religious readers who open it will be atheists when they put it down'.

The volume has received wide coverage, fuelled much passionate debate and caused not a little confusion.

Alister McGrath is ideally placed to evaluate Dawkins' ideas. Once an atheist himself, he gained a doctorate in molecular biophysics before going on to become a leading Christian theologian. He wonders how two people, who have reflected at length on substantially the same world, could possibly have come to such different conclusions about God.

McGrath subjects Dawkins' critique of faith to rigorous scrutiny. His exhilarating, meticulously argued response deals with questions such as:

  • Is faith intellectual nonsense?
  • Are science and religion locked in a battle to the death?
  • Can the roots of Christianity be explained away scientifically?
  • Is Christianity simply a force for evil?

This book will be warmly received by those looking for a reliable assessment of The God Delusion and the many questions it raises - including, above all, the relevance of faith and the quest for meaning.

Introduction
1. Deluded About God?
2. Has Science Disproved God?

One of the Better Dawkins Critics

Alister McGrath is a former atheist, a biologist and a theologian which puts him in a unique position to answer the criticisms of Richard Dawkins. On a personal level this book was a huge help for me, I would recommend it to anyone who struggles with the criticism that comes from the 'new atheists'. Not only does it quickly disperse several of their main arguments it does so in a kind and gentle way which is in stark contrast to the angry rants of Dawkins. The only way in which The Dawkins Delusion suffers is that is was rushed out in response to the God Delusion and so is not as complete or well crafted as it could have been. Though it remains an excellent contribution to the debate.

The Dawkins Delusion?

McGrath, himself a scientist offers a rounded response using his own expertise as a molecular biophysicist before becoming a Christian theologian. He roundly exposes Dawkins thin arguments and condemns him for the weight of scientific proof he appears to offer to his own unproven theories.
– Dawkins did not convince me that God is a delusion! But I appreciated the help of McGrath and Wilson’s Deluded By Dawkins in my own assessment of the weakness of his argument. Dawkins comes across as one feeling part of a marginalised community and has let his feelings and even his hatred of religion overrule his scientific brain. Both McGrath and Wilson are well worth reading by Christians who want to be able to have a conversation with their non believing friends about The God Delusion yet have not had time or energy to read the book in full.
