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
John Cornwell's books include Hitler's Pope and, most recently, Seminary Boy. He is Director of the Science and Human Dimension Project at Jesus College, Cambridge.
A piece of sheer heaven. It kicks Richard Dawkins's
self-aggrandising polemic, The God Delusion, into touch with
featherlight footwork and is deliciously wise, witty and
intellectually sharp into the bargain.
*The Times*
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.
*Independent*
Elegantly written.
