True Reason: Confronting the Irrationality of the New Atheism
Digitale Logos-Edition
Overview
Today’s “new atheists” proclaim themselves to be our culture’s party of reason. It is a claim they cannot sustain. Reason is the new atheists’ weakness, not their strength—and in fact, the Christian faith is a far better place to look for true reason. In 16 carefully constructed essays by more than a dozen Christian thinkers including William Lane Craig, Sean McDowell, and Timothy McGrew, True Reason unmasks the frequent irrationality displayed by leading atheists like Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and Christopher Hitchens. The authors go on to show the great extent to which the Christian faith has historically supported sound reasoning, and that Christian thinkers, past and present, have demonstrated real excellence in reasoned, rational thinking.
