Against Atheism: Why Dawkins, Hitchens, and Harris Are Fundamentally Wrong

Against Atheism challenges the successful and provocative books of high-profile atheist authors such as Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, and Sam Harris. Their books have generated a wide-ranging and fierce debate, but, until now, no one has confronted these authors on their understanding of atheism and belief. Ian Markham analyzes the atheistic worldview from the inside out, tackling the atheists on their own ground by arguing that they do not understand the nature of atheism, let alone theology and ethics.

Drawing on ideas from Nietzsche, cosmology, and art, Against Atheism is a powerful response that allows for a faith that is grounded, yet one that recognizes the reality of uncertainty. Succinct, engaging, but robustly argued, this new book by a leading academic and writer contains a wealth of profound insights that show religious belief in a new light.
