Atheism is on the march in the western world, and its enemy is God. Religion, the "New Atheists" claim, "is dangerous", it "kills" or "poisons everything". And if religion is the problem with the world, their answer is simple: get rid of it.

But are things really so straightforward? Tackling the likes of Richard Dawkins, Stephen Hawking, Christopher Hitchens, and Daniel Dennett head on, John Lennox highlights the fallacies in the their approach, arguing that their irrational and unscientific methodology leaves them guilty of the same obstinate foolishness of which they accuse dogmatic religious folks.

Erudite and wide-ranging, Gunning for God packs some debilitating punches. It also puts forward new ideas about the nature of God and Christianity that will give the ‘New Atheists’ best friends and worst enemies alike some stimulating food for thought.

Lennox makes a good anti-Dawkins. He too is a scientist and holds a professorial chair at Oxford, but is a Christian, and has taken on Dawkins et al in public debate across the world (winning on the occasion when a vote was taken…) But his concern is not to score debating points but ‘present in the public space a credible, rational alternative to the fare which the New Atheists offer’. To this end he ponders arguments both to refute atheist argument and to evidence the plausibility of Christianity (including issues such as the atonement, miracles and resurrection). There is no shortage of books at the moment on these subjects, but Lennox’s contribution is both powerful and lucid, and well worth reading if you intend - as I hope you will – to play your own part in this important public discussion.
