Atheist Delusions is a history that serves life . . . Hart argues
for a brave thesis . . . . With astonishing success, [he] achieves
his objective. --;i>The City
--Christopher Benson "The City ""
"Anyone interested in taking the debate about God to the next level
should read and reflect on Hart s spirited brief on behalf of
Christian truth." Damon Linker, New Republic
--Damon Linker"New Republic" (04/23/2009)"
"Few things are so delightful as watching someone who has taken the
time to acquire a lot of learning casually, even effortlessly,
dismantle the claims of lazy grandstanders. . . . Hart isn t making
a bid for wealth, fame, or cocktail-party acceptance: He knows
whereof he speaks." Stefan Beck, New Criterion
--Stefan Beck"New Criterion" (06/01/2009)"
"Hart aims to provide his readers with a persuasive evocation of
historical facts, moral judgments, philosophical principles, and
theological musings, which may persuade them of the beauty of
Christian truth. . . . Atheist Delusions is an honest book, which
doesn't hide the sometimes repulsive truths related to the
political or social aspects of historical Christianity." Mihail
Neamtu, Modern Age--Mihail Neamtu "Modern Age ""
"In this learned, provocative, and sophisticated book, Hart
presents a frontal challenge to today's myopic caricature of the
culture and religion that existed in previous centuries." Robert
Louis Wilken, University of Virginia
--Robert Louis Wilken"
"Indeed, in a culture battle, pitting religion against secularism,
Hart may be the best 'corner man' in the business, providing
would'be Christian pugilists with a better understanding of both
their own strengths and their opponent's weaknesses." Graham
Reside, Interpretation: A Journal of Bible and Theology--Graham
Reside "Interpretation: A Journal of Bible and Theology ""
Surely Dawkins, Hitchens et al would never have dared put pen to
paper had they known of the existence of David Bentley Hart. After
this demolition-job all that is left for them to do is repent and
rejoice at the discreditation of their erstwhile selves. John
Milbank, author of Radical Orthodoxy: A New Theology
--John Milbank"
With impressive erudition and polemical panache, David Hart smites
hip and thigh the peddlers of a new atheism that recycles hoary
arguments from the past. His grim assessment of our cultural moment
challenges the hope that the Christian revolution could happen
again. Richard John Neuhaus, former editor in chief of First
Things
