Praise for 10 Books That Screwed Up the World (And 5 Others That Didn't Help)

"Benjamin Wiker has read the worst books in Western civilization so you don't have to. In this sprightly, witty, engaging survey of bad guys ranging from Marx to Hitler, Nietzsche to Betty Friedan, Professor Wiker's poison pen portraits are great critical aids to analyzing some of the worst ideas that have ever contaminated Western civilization. Professor Wiker recommends actually reading the books—but his own book is a whole lot more fun."
Thomas E. Woods, Jr., Ph.D.
Author of How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization

"A valuable contribution to the most urgent intellectual project of our day: restoring our culture to that healthy state in which the truisms that most people take for granted are actually true. If you want to know where Western civilization ran off the rails, read this book. And if you want to help get us back on track, buy extra copies and see what you can do to get them into doctor's office waiting rooms, faculty lounges, and your local public library. Wiker has the goods on the authors of our current confusion about (among other things) human nature, morality, sex, economics, law, and government—this book will open many eyes."
Elizabeth Kantor, Ph.D.
Editor of the Conservative Book Club and author of The Politically Incorrect Guide(tm) to English and American Literature

Praise for Answering the New Atheism: Dismantling Dawkins' Case Against God

"Rarely, if ever, in my many years as a professor of philosophy did I ever have the opportunity to read such a compelling argument."
Antony Flew
Author of There Is a God: How the World’s Most Notorious Atheist Changed His Mind

"Dr. Scott Hahn and Dr. Benjamin Wiker show, again and again, that atheists like Richard Dawkins are putting forth shoddy arguments, and once those arguments are dismantled by cool reason, there is very little left."
Dinesh D’Souza
Rishwain Research Scholar at the Hoover Institution and author of What’s So Great About Christianity

"In a better world than ours there would have been no need for Answering the New Atheism. But under the circumstances, I’m grateful to Dr. Scott Hahn and Dr. Benjamin Wiker for their essential service in coolly, rationally taking apart Richard Dawkins’ inflamed rhetoric and exposing the absurdities, and the dangers, at its heart. Their final chapter is a particularly chilling, important reminder of what Dawkins’ secular faith would lead to if it were more widely embraced."
David Klinghoffer
Author of Shattered Tablets: Why We Ignore the Ten Commandments at Our Peril and Why the Jews Rejected Jesus: The Turning Point in Western History

"Answering the New Atheism is a superb exposé of Dawkins’ The God Delusion. Systematically and lucidly, Scott Hahn and Benjamin Wiker dissect and dispose of the fundamental errors that riddle Dawkins’ attempt to demonize the divine. Dawkins has declared a jihad against religion and his main weapons are diatribe and caricature. But the authors refuse to respond in kind and instead turn to reason, the one tool that Dawkins seems to disdain. As readable and humorous as it is rigorously reasoned, Answering the New Atheism is the best antidote in the marketplace for Dawkinitis."
Roy Abraham Varghese
Co-author with Antony Flew of There Is a God: How the World’s Most Notorious Atheist Changed His Mind, a book denounced by Dawkins. Editor of Cosmos, Bios, Theos, a work with 24 Nobel Prize winners that was described by Time Magazine as "the year’s most intriguing book on God."
