About this listen

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.

Dr Lennox is a great expositor using evidenced information to demonstrate his arguments. I will be sharing with friends and family to promote discussions and enlightenment.

This is like having a book read to you by the Siri voice on your phone. I managed to complete the book and did get used to the voice to a degree, but a great deal is lost due to the monotony and odd syllable emphasis of the narrator.

The content was genuinely great and as a bit of a 'doubting thomas' Christian I enjoyed the content of the book greatly, discussing in an intelligent and honest manner some of the challenging questions that the 'new atheists' have raised. I imagine I would have enjoyed it more in paper.

Great content, terrible narration

I would describe this book as a collection of sermons. Although it contains many interesting reasonings against atheism, i was personally expecting and hoping for less theology/philosophy and more science.

Maybe i had wrong expectations

I watched a lot of debates with Phd Lennox to came to this book.. All his insights as a phylosfers and mathematician gave me great insights in the christian God and religion. A great counter piece to Richard Dawkin's The god delussion. Lots of acceptable answers to life questions.

Deeper inside in apostology
