Gunning for God

Why the New Atheists are Missing the Target

De: John Lennox

Narrado por: William Crockett

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.

Excellent and measured mind

Another 5 star book from Lennox. I enjoy Lennox reading his own books but a great listen nonetheless.

For Christians and Atheists Alike

Written in a manner that is easy to understand. Gunning for God allows Dr. Lennox the opportunity to expound on the foundations for his belief in God and His, Jesus. Since deconstruction and atheism are becoming more prevalent, this is the type of book that prepares one for challenges.

Pronunciation of Y

Great book, good performance except for annoying and frustrating pronunciation of words ending in y...

Starts dull but only gets better

This book has a great amount of references. One gets the feeling that this is the tip of an iceberg. It is a great book to learn about the different discussions surrounding the veracity of Christianity. It is a starting point to understand what sources to go to to get full understanding of each argument. It is a great summary.

Terrible Narrator

I ended up buying this book in Kindle as I found that the almost-robotic tone of the narrator made arguments difficult to follow. it is easy to miss even what should be obvious. For instance, when JL uses quotations, so monotonous is the narration that there is no clue that he is doing so. it's an excellent book but needs a new narrator
