Recensione:

"This book is an elegant riposte to Richard Dawkins & others - it punctures the air of certainty professed by Dawkins & his friends, it takes issue with some of the suspect texts Dawkins has chosen to use, & it is never strident. Best of all, it is written more in sorrow than in anger, & is the most consummately crafted work of deadly opposition I have ever read, as well as being sincere, truthful, & open to debate. A must read."-Julia Neuberger

"This brief book, from the distinguished pen of Cornwell, is an elegant little riposte in which [John] Cornwell takes on the voice of a guardian angel to suggest to Richard Dawkins where his [Dawkins's] The God Delusion goes wrong or takes itself entirely too seriously." Library Journal

A piece of sheer heaven. It kicks Richard Dawkins’ self-aggrandising polemic, The God Delusion, into touch with featherlight footwork and is deliciously wise, witty and intellectually sharp.” The Times(London)

Cornwell has done an excellent job in providing a book that should, in an ideal world, be sold taped to every copy of The God Delusion as an essential corrective.” The Independent

Descrizione del libro:

Richard Dawkins' apologia for atheism has attracted huge attention, and sales, all over the world. In a telling critique cast in the classical form of a letter to Dawkins John Cornwell takes issue with it. 'Monkeys make men ... Men make angels' - Charles Darwin
