The God Delusion?


thegoddelusion.jpgPeruse the bestsellers table at any Borders or Barnes & Noble and you are likely to see a copy of The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins, which argues that belief in God is both false and pernicious. Next Wednesday, February 14th, I’m going to begin to write a blog series on my reactions to Dawkins’ arguments, taking them one chapter at a time. Although Dawkins is a world-renowned scientist, ardent defender of evolutionary naturalism, and excellent literary stylist, I find his arguments against belief in God generally unpersuasive and on occasion (such as when he writes about historical Jesus research) just plain wrong. In my series, I hope to provide reasonable counter-arguments. If you’ve got questions about belief in God or knows someone who does, this may be a good series for you to read.
