2.0 out of 5 stars Not much of a response, 5 May 2009
By astrocurly (Near Frankfurt, Germany) - See all my reviews
The author attempts to give a critical response to the books by Dawkins, Harris and Hitchens (The God Delusion, The End of Faith: Religion, Terror, and the Future of Reason, God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything. As an atheist myself, though not quite so radical as the ones mentioned, I was very much looking forward to hearing an opposite view.

Haught criticises the three atheist authors in not getting to grips with theology as a subject in itself, several times mentioning that his own theology students would have no difficulty in finding holes in their arguments. Unfortunately, it is only about half way through the book that the reader has some insight into what these holes might be. The author cites "Meaning, Truth and Goodness" and that "Faith" is the surrender to "Being". Whereas this might mean something to the reader if he/she has signed up to a religion or has attended Mr. Haught's lectures, such esoteric language means nothing to a feet-on-the-ground atheist.

True, the new aggressive atheists may not be fully acquainted with the works of Tillich and others cited by Haught, but their argument surely deserves a more vigorous response than that offered by the author.
