Richard Dawkins’ new book “The Magic of Reality” has been high in the bestseller lists for weeks. While Dawkins insists there is a divide between the life of the mind and the life of the soul ("you can’t be an intellectual and a religious believer"), a number of Christian intellectuals are starting to tackle the New Atheists. Here is Professor Lennox’s Christmas take on Dawkins’ latest offering (a “Guest Voice” in the Washington Post):

I must confess I’m not sure where the Washington Post fits into the spectrum of politics in American media, but judging from the harsh and frankly ridiculous comments posted underneath Dr Lennox’s article I can only assume it’s the American version of ‘Comment is Free’ in the Guardian!
I think Dr L’s style in this article is like usual, a lightweight style with a heavyweight punch and I value his contribution muchly. As for the debate with Dawkins, well even Dawkin’s mum agrees her boy took a beating, so not sure which debate the commentators were watching, but it wasn’t the one I saw.
Nice article.. thank you.
