Gunning for God

Why the New Atheists are Missing the Target

By: John Lennox

Narrated by: William Crockett

Length: 9 hrs and 42 mins

Publisher's summary

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.

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

Great book!

As usual, Dr. Lennox does complete job of covering this material so well and with his usual clear insight and humor...at first I wasn't sure if I liked the narration but it won me over the more I listened.

Excellent and measured mind

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

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.

An excellent book -- mediocrely read

The book's content is excellent. It provides plenty of "ammunition" to defend against the "New Atheism", and I got a lot of it. I will be reading this book over and over again -- studying it, in fact -- in order to become adept at this "ammunition".

However, the narrator is just OK. His fluency is fine, but his tone tends to the monotonous. Also, his mispronunciation of words is frequently jarring and distracting. But don't let the narrator's follies dissuade you from this book. It's a great read, whether in print or Audible!

Pronunciation of Y

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

poor narrator

love anything Lennox
man I'm struggling with this narrator.
he may work for someone else.
dry voice quality.

Factual and Inspiring!

First book I’ve ever read by John Lennox..... first of many! Amazing, beautiful encouraging faith!

Excellent!

Dr. Lennox brilliantly maneuvers through each point of attack lobbed from the new atheists, in order to bring us to a logical and true conclusion. We'll done!

Narrator struggles

It is unfortunate that such a good book is diminished by poor narration skills. The narrator often mispronounces words. He also reads as if he is in a confined space and is unnaturally speaking as if trying not to let people overhear his conversation. I can’t bear to listen long enough to finish the book.
