There have been a bunch of theological and philosophical responses to Richard Dawkins and company’s New Atheism. Last year we had Eric Reitan on the Podcast to discuss his book ‘Is God a Delusion?’ Eastern Orthodox Theologian David Bentley Hart goes for the jugular with Nietzsche and Nicaea in his work ‘Atheist Delusions: The Christian Revolution and Its Fashionable Enemies.’ Recently I read Keith Ward‘s book ‘Why There is Almost Certainly a God: Doubting Dawkins‘ and found it an entertaining and enlightening page turner. Ward and Dawkins were both teaching at Oxford at the same time and debated a number of times. This book and the lecture posted below present a very committed philosophical idealists’ response to Dawkins’ materialism. Enjoy the video! I made some delicious Banana Bread while I watched it.
