With clarity of thought and precise logic, a group of contemporary Christian apologists unmask the self-aggrandizing claims of the New Atheists, who include Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and Christopher Hitchens.
In sixteen, carefully constructed essays, these Christian thinkers demonstrate that "reason is the New Atheists' weakness, not their strength." They show that "Christianity is on the whole much more reasonable than atheism," and that "Christian faith as a whole supports sound reason, and Christians have applied it well." With coherence and competence these writers address the fallacies of "the party of Reason," and offer an introduction to the true reason of Christianity by making their case equally accessible to both the casual inquirer and the serious student.
