Many books have been written in reply to Richard Dawkins’s The God Delusion. John Blanchard has written this one to meet ‘a need for a brief, simply written response that exposes Dawkins’s mindset and pinpoints some of the major flaws in his case against God’.
In short chapters, he argues against Dawkins’s assertion that science is the answer to everything, that morality does not require religion, that religion is a major cause of great evil, and that there is almost certainly no God. He goes on to expose Dawkins’s inadequate view of the Bible, Christianity, Jesus and faith. He draws widely on the work of other authors, to whom he refers in notes at the end.
