The debate features Professor Richard Dawkins, Fellow of the Royal Society and Charles Simonyi Chair for the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University, and Dr. John Lennox (MA, MA, Ph.D., D.Phil., D.Sc.), Reader in Mathematics and Fellow in Mathematics and Philosophy of Science, Green College, Oxford University.
The debate, held in October of 2007 before a sold out audience in Birmingham, Alabama, centered on Dawkins’ views as expressed in his best-seller, The God Delusion, and their validity over and against the Christian faith.
BOOK
The Dawkins Delusion
by Alister McGrath with Joanna Collicutt McGrath
"The God Delusion makes me embarrassed to be an atheist, and the McGraths show why."
Michael Ruse, Professor of Philosophy, Florida State University
World-renowned scientist Richard Dawkins writes in The God Delusion : 'If this book works as I intend, religious readers who open it will be atheists when they put it down.' The volume has received wide coverage, fueled much passionate debate and caused not a little confusion. Alister McGrath is ideally placed to evaluate Dawkins' ideas. Once an atheist himself, he gained a doctorate in molecular biophysics before going on to become a leading Christian theologian. He wonders how two people, who have reflected at length on substantially the same world, could possibly have come to such different conclusions about God. McGrath subjects Dawkins' critique of faith to rigorous scrutiny.
His exhilarating, meticulously argued response deals with questions such as:
* Is faith intellectual nonsense?
* Are science and religion locked in a battle to the death?
* Can the roots of Christianity be explained away scientifically?
* Is Christianity simply a force for evil?
