RT Article T1 The New Atheism: Its Virtues and its Vices JF New blackfriars VO 92 IS 1037 SP 18 OP 34 A1 Davies, Brian 1951- LA English YR 2011 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1780351569 AB What follows is the text of the 2010 Aquinas Lecture delivered at the church of St Vincent Ferrer, New York. The lecture indicates what makes the so-called new atheism new. It then offers some defense and critique of three authors: Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, and Christopher Hitchens. The chief criticism leveled against them is that their dismissal of theism is based on an ignorance of classical theistic thinking and the mistaken impression that ‘theism’ and ‘creationism’ are equivalent.
