Review of 'The God Delusion'

Dear Ridleans,

If you are at all interested in the work of Richard Dawkins, and the media
hype (and frequent C4 documentaries presented by him) that surrounds him,
you might be interested to read this review of his latest book ‘The God
Delusion’.

It is written by Terry Eagleton, the Marxist-socialist literary theorist. He
is highly critical of Dawkins’ work, and it is refreshing to find such a
critique from a source other than Christian theologians (Alastair McGrath
has written extensively against Dawkins) and a reminder that we have
sympathetic and respectful supporters in what we might think unusual places
(the Marxist-socialist left).

I hope you don’t mind me emailing this link, but I’m confidant that in
ministry we will all come across people caught under Dawkins’ influence, and
will need the resources to creatively engage with their views...

By the way, Giles Fraser also wrote something shorter on broadly the same
theme in this week’s Church Times.
