"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
"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."
