– Ateisten Richard Dawkins skrev boken "The God Delusion", som er et "angrep" på tanken om at det finnes en Gud. Alister McGrath, som er kristen, tok på seg å analysere boken til Dawkins, og skrev så denne lille boken som et "svar" til Dawkins. Her viser han hvordan Dawkins i mange av sine påstander rett og slett tar feil, og hvordan han ofte støtter seg til dårlige kilder, og tar religiøse ekstremister som norm for resten av de religiøse. Men mest interessant av alt er det at McGrath avslører hvordan Dawkins faktisk er like dogmatisk og fundamentalistisk som de religiøse han refser, bare med et annet fortegn.
Dawkins Delusion?
«The Dawkins Delusion? Sets out to rebut Dawkin's central claims, particularly the one suggesting that knowledge of science should lead inevitably to atheism. It is a brief and concise book, dispelling with clarity and efficiency much of what McGrath calls the 'half-baked nonsense' in The God Delusion.»
Philip Wainwright, Salvationist
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. His exhilarating, meticulously argued response deals with questions such as:
Is faith intellectual nonsense?
Are science and religion locked in a battle to the death?
Can the roots of Christianity be explained away scientifically?
Is Christianity simply a force for evil?
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.

«The Dawkins Delusion? Sets out to rebut Dawkin's central claims, particularly the one suggesting that knowledge of science should lead inevitably to atheism.

Philip Wainwright, Salvationist
«For those irritated by Dawkins and his attitudes to faith, this book represents the response of intelligent Christians everywhere.»
Matthew Cowie, Life and Work
«At only 60 pages, McGrath's work is concise, coherent and, most of all, devestating. By the end of it, Dawkins' work is left looking like the hatchet job it is, the whole thing ripped to pieces by someone with far greater knowledge of the subject.»
James Kelly, Catholic Times
«McGrath's book is a fine, dense, yet very clear account, from his particular Christian perspective, of the full case against Dawkins.»
Bryan Appleyard, New Scientist
«...The Dawkins Delusion deserves to sell many more copies than The God Delusion. I am sad that Dawkins, once my hero, has descended to unscientific nonesense. McGrath makes more sense.»
Revd Jeremy Craddock, Church Times
«The Dawkins Delusion, for example, is excellent at challenging Dawkin's absurd demonisation of Christian history and the concomitant white-washing of secularist history as though atheists have never killed or persecuted religious believers explicitly in the name of anti-religion.»
David Quinn, Catholic Herald
