Heralded as the exponents of a 'new atheism', critics of religion
are highly visible in today's media, and include the household
names of Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett and Sam Harris. David
Fergusson explains their work in its historical perspective,
drawing comparisons with earlier forms of atheism. Responding to
the critics through conversations on the credibility of religious
belief, Darwinism, morality, fundamentalism, and our approach to
reading sacred texts, he establishes a compelling case for the
practical and theoretical validity of faith in the contemporary
world.
An invitation to engage in a rich dialogue, Faith and Its Critics
supports an informed and constructive exchange of ideas rather than
a contest between two sides of the debate. Fergusson encourages
faith communities to undertake patient engagement with their
critics, to acknowledge the place for change and development in
their self-understanding whilst resisting the reductive
explanations of the new atheism.
