Description
Summary:Richard Dawkins, in his The God Delusion, argued strongly for atheism. Alister McGrath picked up the challenge and argued that Dawkins is wrong and that his arguments are very weak. This article, part of a symposium honoring McGrath looks in detail at the God Delusion, and at two books by McGrath, Dawkins’ God, written before The God Delusion appeared but addressing the arguments of that book, and The Dawkins’ Delusion, co-authored with his wife Joanna Collicutt McGrath that appeared after The God Delusion. It is argued that the debate is still timely and that sociological factors are extremely important.
