Hereinafter are a few review/comments about Ian S. Markham’s book Against Atheism: Why Dawkins, Hitchens, and Harris Are Fundamentally Wrong:
…Markham (Virginia Theological Seminary; Understanding Christian Doctrine) has written a rational defense of Christian belief in response to recent atheist books… Markham’s comparison of Nietzsche to the New Atheists is particularly insightful, and moderate Christians will find plenty of useful apologetic material on the reasonableness of classical, nonfundamentalist Christianity…
This book will be enjoyed by academically minded believers looking to bolster their arguments against atheism. However, it is probably too theological for most general readers and not likely to persuade many nonbelieven.1

Review
“Accessible and patient … .Markham does not evade tough questions.” (The Tablet, April 2010)…“Stands out from the crowd by questioning the theological, ethical, and spiritual content underpinning books by Dawkins, Hitchens, and Harris. By challenging the very foundations of their position, [Markham] exposes the weaknesses in their arguments.” (Sourcews, November 2009)
“Ian Markham … offers a moral argument for faith. Markham accuses the so-called New Atheists—Dawkins et al.—of not facing up to the conse¬quences of their atheism. Markham argues the case very well.” (Church Times, April 2010)
Review
“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, UK“I find this book to be absolutely superb! It’s a lucid, respectful, comprehensive, and compelling case for the rationality and veracity of Christian faith. I love the irenic spirit of Markham’s engagement – in stark contrast to his interlocutors.”
–Sam Lloyd, Dean of Washington National Cathedral
