'John Blanchard has produced yet another winner. This time he engages with the so-called "new atheism" promoted by Richard Dawkins in his books 'The God Delusion' and 'The greatest show on earth'. He concisely but clearly outlines Dawkins' views and arguments, and deftly demonstrates how shallow and illogical they often are, then provides God-centred alternatives that are altogether superior.
Blanchard tackles such subjects as the importance but limitations of science, the origin and significance of morality and Dawkins' abysmal ignorance of theology and the Bible. He then goes on to explain the nature of true faith before ending with a clear presentation of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Perfect for our sceptical times, this book will demonstrate to any open-minded reader that, contrary to Dawkins' atheistic claims, biblical Christianity is reliable and relevant, powerful and persuasive.'

Dr John Blanchard is an internationally-known author, evangelist and Christian apologist. Some eighteen million copies of his publications are in print in over 50 languages.
'In this little book John Blanchard confronts the unfounded polemics, confused logic and outright errors of Richard Dawkins, leading proponent of ‘the New Atheism' and author of The Greatest Show on Earth, a recent bestseller about evolution. The intellectual poverty of Dawkins' arguments are skilfully exposed from the perspectives of science, morality, theology and biblical criticism.'
Paul Garner, author of 'The new creationism'
'John Blanchard's book Dealing with Dawkins touches a nerve that has been exposed ever since Dawkins' book "The God Delusion" hit the stores. Many replies to his book have been forthcoming but this one is very useful for the following reasons: first it deals with the arguments, not the man, second it does so simply without being simplistic; then it provides easy to grasp answers. It then goes on to show not only the error of Dawkins' presuppositions but where the true firm ground lies whereupon we may stand. Finally it points to Christ who, after all said and done, is the TRUTH. Buy this book by the bulk and give it away to all who are seeking.'
