"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. 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."--Jacket.… (altro)

You don't need to read this book. Any intelligent person can draw the same conclusions from "The God Delusion" and save the time. ( )

A thin defense of PC religion

I have zero sympathy for Dawkins's worldview or his anti-religious harangues, but I can't give McGrath's book much of a recommendation. One might reasonably expect that by reading McGrath's reply you'd learn a lot about Dawkins's arguments but that simply isn't the case. He uses this book's hundred or so pages to tell us more or less that Dawkins's arguments aren't worth responding to. Yet McGrath does find the room to make fun of Dawkins for, of all things, thinking that Paul wrote Hebrews and to speculate that _The God Delusion_ was written as a last gasp attempt by Dawkins to bolster his waning faith in atheism. This is just silly.

I don't know of a good alternative to recommend to those wanting a solid critique of Dawkins, but I just finished reading _C.S. Lewis: Essay Collection and other Short Pieces_ and I can't imagine that a theist armed with Lewis's ideas would find Dawkins very troubling at all. Besides having the clear advantage over McGrath in style, Lewis defends a full-blooded Christianity and is unafraid to grapple with the thorny issues. ( )

I did not read Dawkins's The God Delusion (though I did hear much about it when it came out and I have read some of Dawkins's other titles as required reading in college).

I thought this book did a good job of presenting the distilled version of Dawkins's arguments (what his points in The God Delusion are) along with evidence for or against those points. The authors were fair in their assessments of Dawkins's arguments and not afraid to say they agreed with him on a few points (such as religious violence being bad) though that did not stop them from pointing out flaws in his arguments.

Although I have not read The God Delusions, I did find the McGrath's rebuttal to one of Dawkins' most famous and contested works interesting and useful in rebutting points that flow from or originate from readings of Dawkins' book.

The Dawkins' Delusion? is much shorter than Dawkin's book, and in around one hundred pages succinctly rebuts and deconstructs Dawkins' arguments. The McGrath's book also rightly accuses Dawkins of turning into the very fundamentalist he loathes: for Dawkins has abandoned his rationality and impartiality that science brings to adopt an ironically fundamentalist viewpoint vis-à-vis atheism.

Of course, this book will be subject to its own controversy as any book about such a subject would. Nevertheless, this is a handy book to further debunk the already-stale argument that faith and science are not compatible. ( )

Wat er mis is met het atheïstisch fundamentalisme

De bekende theoloog Alister McGrath maakt korte metten met God als misvatting van Richard Dawkins. Een wereldwijde bestseller, maar gebaseerd op vooroordelen en onwetendheid over religie.

Met verve weerlegt McGrath de belangrijkste stellingen van Dawkins, bijvoorbeeld dat geloof kinderachtig en irrationeel is, dat de wetenschap God overbodig heeft gemaakt en dat religies tot geweld leiden.
Recensie(s)

Deze reactie van de beroemde evangelische theoloog Alister McGrath en zijn vrouw Joanna Collicutt McGrath - de eerste Engelse reactie die nu pas in het Nederlands verschijnt - is een gepassioneerde maar genuanceerde reactie op het rancuneuze 'God als misvatting' (2006)* van de bioloog en atheist Richard Dawkins. De McGraths gaan in dit toegankelijke boek in op de hoofdlijnen van Dawkins' betoog: op zijn bewering dat geloven infantiel en irrationeel is, dat wetenschap geloof heeft weerlegd, dat religie een virus van de geest of een 'meme' is, en bovendien kwaadaardig. De McGraths maken met behulp van boeiende argumenten en tekstanalyses duidelijk dat Dawkins parasiteert op het fundamentalistisch geloof waartegen hij ageert. Ze laten zien dat Dawkins dezelfde retoriek en argumentatiestijlen hanteert als religieuze fundamentalisten en daarmee zelf een 'atheistische fundamentalist' is. Het boek is geen apologie voor het christelijk geloof en daarmee ook voor niet-gelovigen interessant. Het voegt nieuwe argumenten toe aan al bestaande/vertaalde literatuur. Een must voor wie in het atheismedebat geinteresseerd is. Het boek is zeer leesbaar vertaald, met eindnoten achterin. Een index ontbreekt.

Introduction
Since the publication of The Selfish Gene (1976), Richard Dawkins has established himself as one of the most successful and skillful scientific popularizers. Along with his American colleague Stephen Jay Gould, he has managed to make evolutionary biology accessible and interesting to a new generation of readers. I and other admirers of his popular scientific works have long envied their clarity, their beautiful use of helpful analogies, and their entertaining style.
