Product Description

An Extra Chapter included in this revised edition. When Richard Dawkins published 'The God Delusion', David Robertson wanted there to be an intelligent Christian response. After some ill thought through interventions in the media it was obvious that no one was really going to answer the real issues so David Robertson wrote an open letter to Richard Dawkins on his church website. This has found its way into Richard Dawkins' website, where it generated the largest response of any posting up to that time.

Since then it has been the source of continued discussion - being a critical part of the largest discussion since that time as his book was officially reviewed on the website. The ferocity of the responses and the shallowness of the thinking that it exhibited, spurred David to write this book. Christians need to know where Dawkins is weak and we need to explain things better! It draws upon David's experience as a debater, letter writer, pastor and author.

This is a very honest book. It agrees with Dawkins where appropriate but also does not hesitate to point out where some of his thinking does not hold together.

Dawkins Letters, Revised Edition 5 5 1 1

Gives a blanced perspective to The God Delusion. If you engage the people around you in conversation about spiritual things, you will quickly find that skepticism seems to be ruling the day. As with any movement, there are an elite few influential leaders who are leading the charge, especially through books and other media. One such influential leader amongst the skeptics is Oxford professor Richard Dawkins. His well-known book The God Delusion (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2006) is still wildly popular several years after its publication with some 1693 reviews on Amazon. A non-fiction book with this many reviews five years after its publication clearly has a following. As we consider the level of influence garnered by books like The God Delusion that oppose a Christian worldview, an important question Christians need to ask themselves is, Ã¢ÂÂHow should a Christian respond?Ã¢ÂÂ One person who decided to respond to Richad Dawkins is David Robertson. During the winter of 2006-2007, he wrote a series of open letters responding to concerns raised by Dawkins in The God Delusion. The first of these letters made its way to DawkinsÃ¢ÂÂ web site and received numerous responses. The chord that his letter seemed to have struck, encouraged David to write more letters in response to Dr. Dawkins, which ultimately led to the creation of this book. RobertsonÃ¢ÂÂs aim is Ã¢ÂÂto challenge some of the basic myths Dawkins uses and encourages in his book, in order that you may think and consider these things for yourself.Ã¢ÂÂ (p. 9). With the exception of the introductory letter to the reader and the final letter to Dawkins (new to the revised edition), there are ten letters in the book, each of which correspond to a chapter in DawkinsÃ¢ÂÂ book and responds to one or more of the atheist myths that are discussed in that chapter. The writing style of these letters feels very conversational, coming across as humorous, friendly, and deeply pastoral. If you happen to be reading The God Delusion or have a friend or acquaintance who is reading it, I would suggest picking up a copy of The Dawkins Letters to read in conjunction with DawkinsÃ¢ÂÂ book in order to get a balanced perspective. The Dawkins Letters is widely available from Amazon, Westminster Books and elsewhere. Author Information: David Robertson is a columnist, author and pastor of St. PeterÃ¢ÂÂs Free Church of Scotland in Dundee.
