Against Atheism Why Dawkins, Hitchens, and Harris Are Fundamentally Wrong Ian S. Markham Virginia Theological Seminary, USA “A brilliant defence of the reasonableness of Christian belief, against its modern detractors. Written beautifully and clearly, this is modern Christian thought at its best.” Keith Ward, University of Oxford 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. • A fascinating challenge to the recent spate of successful books written by high-profile atheist authors such as Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, and Sam Harris • Tackles these authors on their own ground, arguing that they do not understand the nature of atheism, let alone theology and ethics • Succinct, engaging, and 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 176 pages • January 2010 978-1-4051-8964-4 • HB • £45.00 / €57.90 / US$84.95 / AUD$89.95 978-1-4051-8963-7 • PB • £14.99 / €19.90 / US$24.95 / AUD$29.95 The God Debates A 21st Century Guide for Atheists and Believers (and Everyone in Between) John R. Shook Center for Inquiry in Amherst, New York, and University at Buffalo, USA “Shook lays out the questions, controversies, and schools of thought with amazing clarity, gradually building his case for a “staunchly naturalistic yet faithfully ethical humanism”… Clear and blunt, with a light touch of irony.” Philip Clayton, Claremont School of Theology The God Debates presents a comprehensive, non-technical survey of the quest for knowledge of God, allowing readers to participate in a debate about the existence of God and gain understanding and appreciation of religion’s conceptual foundations. • Explains key arguments for and against God’s existence in clear ways for readers at all levels • Brings theological debates up to the present with current ideas from modernism, postmodernism, fideism, evidentialism, presuppositionalism, and mysticism • Updates criticism of theology by dealing with the latest terms of the God debates instead of outdated caricatures of religion • Concludes with an overview of religious and nonreligious worldviews and predictions about the future of faith and reason 256 pages • September 2010 978-1-4443-3641-2 • HB • £50.00 / €65.90 / US$84.95 / AUD$99.95 978-1-4443-3642-9 • PB • £16.99 / €21.90 / US$24.95 / AUD$34.95 Darwinism and New the Divine Evolutionary Thought and Natural Theology Alister E. McGrath King’s College, London, UK Darwinism and the Divine examines the implications of evolutionary thought for natural theology, from the time of publication of Darwin’s On the Origin of Species to current debates on creationism and intelligent design. • Questions whether Darwin’s theory of natural selection really shook our fundamental beliefs, or whether they served to transform and illuminate our views on the origins and meaning of life • Identifies the forms of natural theology that emerged in nineteenthcentury England and how they were affected by Darwinism • The most detailed study yet of the intellectual background to William Paley’s famous and influential approach to natural theology, set out in 1802 • Brings together material from a variety of disciplines, including the history of ideas, historical and systematic theology, evolutionary biology, anthropology, sociology, and the cognitive science of religion • Considers how Christian belief has adapted to Darwinism, and asks whether there is a place for design both in the world of science and the world of theology • A thought-provoking exploration of twenty-first-century views on evolutionary thought and natural theology, written by the worldrenowned theologian and bestselling author 352 pages • February 2011 978-1-4443-3343-5 • HB • £55.00 / €71.90 / US$89.95 / AUD$110.00 978-1-4443-3344-2 • PB • £19.99 / €25.90 / US$34.95 / AUD$39.95 Dawkins’ God Genes, Memes, and the Meaning of Life Alister E. McGrath King’s College, London, UK “McGrath has written a brilliant book, and it is difficult to think that the exposition of Dawkins’ writings and their religious implications, will ever be better stated, explored and criticised...” Times Higher Education Supplement 208 pages • 2004 978-1-4051-2538-3 • PB • £14.99 / €19.90 / US$25.95 / AUD$29.95 50 Voices of Disbelief Why We Are Atheists Edited by Russell Blackford & Udo Schüklenk Monash University, Australia; Queen’s University, Canada “By turns witty, serious, engaging and informative, it is always human and deeply honest, and immensely rewarding to read.” Times Higher Education Supplement 50 Voices of Disbelief: Why We Are Atheists presents a collection of original essays drawn from an international group of prominent voices in the fields of academia, science, literature, media and politics who offer carefully considered statements of why they are atheists. 360 pages • 2009 978-1-4051-9045-9 • HB • £55.00 / €71.90 / US$89.95 / AUD$110.00 978-1-4051-9046-6 • PB • £16.99 / €21.90 / US$29.95 / AUD$34.95 BESTSELLER BESTSELLER General Interest 1 Religion 2011.indd 1 1/6/11 4:11:09 PM
