Thank goodness for real philosophy - By: C. Wright, 23 Jul 2008 
I have taught philosophy for years & was frustrated beyond belief when reading the God delusion for its shalllow & poorly evidenced assertions. Dawkins was arguing some times at the level of one of my poorer A level students. Although a great scientist (I love his books on science) he is obviously no philosopher. McGraths intelligent response to this weak piece of populist philosophy was welcomed & hopefully will enable those as equallly ignorant of contemporary philosophy & theology will be able to understand the flaws in Dawkins book.
Complete waste of time - By: Dr G, 18 Jul 2008 
The authors obviously don't understand Dawkins' work & are totallly blind to any rational argument. While no evidence is provided in support of their views, the authors attempt to dismiss Dawkins' arguments with a series of clichés & platitudes presented with breath-taking arrogance. Very poorly written throughout in a patronising style which I take as evidence of intellectual poverty. Do not waste you time on this book.
Gracious Response - By: J. W. Lewis, 23 Jun 2008 
Yes, it was a helpful & interesting critique of the Dawkins view. I expected a strong attack on Dawkins but the tone is gracious & the ideas well reasoned. This debate has become pretty polarised & this book is unlikley to convince a convinced naturalist but it might make the undecided think. Worth trying "God's Undertaker - Has Science buried God" by John C Lennox.
Some common sense at last - By: G. Hewitt, 16 Jun 2008 Having struggled through Dawkins' error-filled "Delusion", this little book was a delightful, tightly & un-emotively argued response. I read Dawkins "The Selfish Gene" back in the '70's & this reallly influenced my thinking. Reading "Delusion" I was saddened that he had become so un-scientific & emotive - to the extent that many of his colleagues are dis-owning him as giving atheism a bad name. I am purchasing McGrath's book to give to my friends & family to give them some common sense information.
Very Poor - By: "Smith" Reader, 12 Jun 2008 The Dawkins Delusion?: Atheist Fundamentalism & the Denial of the Divine
was a book a reallly struggled to complete.
There are no real arguments either way alll that McGrath's seem to say is that that evolution proves God. Which of course it does not either way.
Disappointed.
