Aikman on the New Atheism

TTF Staff

Senior Fellow David Aikman, who is also Professor of History at Patrick Henry College, spoke in February for the college’s “Faith and Reason” lecture series on the “New Atheism” of writers including Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens.

A press release, with links to the transcript of the text (PDF) and a free MP3 recording of the lecture, is on the college web site.

The lecture, “Weaknesses of the New Atheism,” anticipates arguments in Dr. Aikman’s new book, The Delusion of Disbelief: Why the New Atheism is a Threat to Your Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness, and will be a good introduction to that volume for people considering its purchase.
