This book examines the post-9/11 God debate in the West. Through a
close study of prominent English God debaters Richard Dawkins,
Karen Armstrong, Christopher Hitchens, and Terry Eagleton, Adrian
Rosenfeldt demonstrates that New Atheist and religious apologist
ideas and arguments about God, science, and identity are driven by
mythic autobiographical narratives and Protestant or Catholic
cultural heritage. This study is informed by criticism of the New
Atheist polemic as being positivistic, and the religious apologists
as propagating "sophisticated theology." In both cases, the God
debaters are perceived as disassociating themselves from human
lived experience. It is through reconnecting the God debaters'
intellectual ideas to their cultural and social background that the
God debate can be grounded in a recognisable human reality that
eludes reductive distinctions and disembodied abstractions.
