Introduction
What People are Saying About This
Dr. Timothy Johnson
"With rigorous logic and exquisite fairness, the McGraths have exposed Dawkins's very superficial understanding of the history of religion and theology. Because he is so 'out of his depth' in these areas, Dawkins uses his fundamentalistic scientism and atheism to constantly misjudge the possibilities for dialogue between religion and science. Thank God for scholars like the McGraths who are committed to finding truth in both." — Dr. Timothy Johnson, physician, journalist and author of Finding God in the Questions
Rowan Williams
"Alister McGrath invariably combines enormous scholarship with an accessible and engaging style." — Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury
Francis Collins
"Addressing the conclusions of The God Delusion point by point with the devastating insight of a molecular biologist turned theologian, Alister McGrath dismantles the argument that science should lead to atheism, and demonstrates instead that Dawkins has abandoned his much-cherished rationality to embrace an embittered manifesto of dogmatic atheist fundamentalism." — Francis Collins, Director of the Human Genome Project
Owen Gingerich
"Richard Dawkins's utopian vision of a world without religion is here deftly punctured by the McGraths' informed discourse. His fellow Oxonians clearly demonstrate the gaps, inconsistencies and surprising lack of depth in Dawkins's arguments." — Owen Gingerich, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, and author of God's Universe
David G. Myers
"In this crisp and cogent book, Alister and Joanna McGrath note, among other things, how fundamentalist scientism fuels antiscientific Christian fundamentalism. They also remind us of well-documented associations between an active faith and measures of health and well-being. A must-read contribution to today's debate other whether religion spreads dangerous falsehoods or benevolent wisdom." — David G. Myers, Professor of Psychology, Hope College
Michael Ruse
"The God Delusion makes me embarrassed to be an atheist, and the McGraths show why." — Michael Ruse, Lucyle T. Werkmeister Professor of Philosophy, and Director of the Program in the History and Philosophy of Science, Department of Philosophy, Florida State University
