Books Gunning for God: Why the New Atheists are missing the target  by John C Lennox (Author)

"Gunning for God: Why the New Atheists Are Missing the Target" by John C. Lennox is a sharp and erudite response to prominent New Atheist authors like Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Daniel Dennett, and Sam Harris. Lennox critiques their arguments against religion and Christianity, exposing flaws, misrepresentations, and biased assumptions in their reasoning. He argues that the New Atheists often fail to meet their own standards of objective inquiry and operate from preconceived mistrust and prejudice against religion.

The book addresses key New Atheist claims such as religion being dangerous or poisonous and counters by illustrating the historical problems associated with atheistic regimes and the philosophical incoherence of their critiques. Lennox further defends Christian doctrines like the atonement and the historical credibility of Jesus' resurrection through careful theological and historical analysis.
