Book Reviews of Atheist Delusions: The Christian Revolution and Its Fashionable Enemies
Book Review: A Sensible Rebuttal to Senseless Atheism
Summary: 4 Stars
David Bentley Hart, in his usual take-no-prisoners snarkiness, points out the logical flaws and gross inconsistencies in the New Atheism - writers on religion such as Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, and Sam Harris. Interestingly, Hart does not just deconstruct their arguments (which are really shooting fish in a barrel) but provides an alternate history - the history of the early Christian Church, a minority pacifist movement which did more to help the poor and needy than any other institution before or since. Hart readily admits the weaknesses and exploitation of Christianity, but points out that at its best, it made more of a difference in the world than any other institution.
