About this listen

Atheism is on the march in the western world, and its enemy is God.

Religion, the "New Atheists" claim, is "dangerous", "kills", or "poisons" everything. And if religion is the problem with the world, their answer is simple: Get rid of it. But are things really so straightforward?

Tackling the likes of Richard Dawkins, Stephen Hawking, Christopher Hitchens, and Daniel Dennett head on, John Lennox highlights the fallacies in the their approach, arguing that their irrational and unscientific methodology leaves them guilty of the same obstinate foolishness of which they accuse dogmatic religious folks.

Erudite and wide-ranging, Gunning for God packs some debilitating punches. It also puts forward new ideas about the nature of God and Christianity that will give the New Atheists' best friends and worst enemies alike some stimulating food for thought.

A little disappointed but well worth the listen

I’ve heard John Lennox debate and he is sharp and witty and succinct. This book doesn’t feel like that. There was just something missing. As a response to the God Delusion it was fine but a little more ranty and less preachy. I was expecting something more scientific from John.

All of this was tolerable though considering the great subject matter. What really spoiled it was the narrating. Bear in mind the narrator is reading a book by a man with a beautifully eloquent Irish accent, the narrator struggles to keep the sentences in line with the grammar and has clearly never heard the word “subsequent” before, (sub see kwent). It was so poorly read I really struggled to listen to what should have been a good read. Shame really. Perhaps you could re-record it with a native english or even Irish speaker ?
