 Thank goodness for real philosophy July 23, 2008
I have taught philosophy for years and was frustrated beyond belief when reading the God delusion for its shallow and poorly evidenced assertions. Dawkins was arguing some times at the level of one of my poorer A level students. Although a great scientist (I love his books on science) he is obviously no philosopher. McGraths intelligent response to this weak piece of populist philosophy was welcomed and hopefully will enable those as equally ignorant of contemporary philosophy and theology will be able to understand the flaws in Dawkins book.
 Complete waste of time July 18, 2008

The authors obviously don't understand Dawkins' work and are totally blind to any rational argument. While no evidence is provided in support of their views, the authors attempt to dismiss Dawkins' arguments with a series of cliches and platitudes presented with breath-taking arrogance. Very poorly written throughout in a patronising style which I take as evidence of intellectual poverty. Do not waste you time on this book.
 Gracious Response June 23, 2008

Yes, it was a helpful and interesting critique of the Dawkins view. I expected a strong attack on Dawkins but the tone is gracious and the ideas well reasoned. This debate has become pretty polarised and this book is unlikley to convince a convinced naturalist but it might make the undecided think. Worth trying "God's Undertaker - Has Science buried God" by John C Lennox.
Some common sense at last June 16, 2008

Having struggled through Dawkins' error-filled "Delusion", this little book was a delightful, tightly and un-emotively argued response. I read Dawkins "The Selfish Gene" back in the '70's and this really influenced my thinking. Reading "Delusion" I was saddened that he had become so un-scientific and emotive - to the extent that many of his colleagues are dis-owning him as giving atheism a bad name. I am purchasing McGrath's book to give to my friends and family to give them some common sense information.

The Dawkins Delusion?: Atheist Fundamentalism and the Denial of the Divine
was a book a really struggled to complete.
There are no real arguments either way all that McGrath's seem to say is that that evolution proves God. Which of course it does not either way.
Disappointed.
