Particularly disturbing is the recent release of The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins. This book has catapulted to the top of bestseller lists and allowed Dawkins a new platform for airing his ideas. After witnessing several students leave the Faith after reading this book, Scott Hahn and Benjamin Wiker decided to join together to address Dawkins' arguments against the existence of God. An essential book for dismantling Richard Dawkins' atheistic agenda, Hahn and Wiker show in Answering the New Atheism how inconsistent and illogical his conclusions truly are.

Included in the topics covered is the issue of morality. Today's atheism uses Darwinism for its base - an ideology which teaches that there is no "right" and "wrong. Every moral issue is approached subjectively and morality is continuously evolving. Hahn and Wiker take a look at Dawkins' "super niceness" version of morality and show how his ideas are fundamentally at odds with the Christian teaching that man is made in the image of God.
This thorough book is written in an easy-to-read style and matches Dawkins arguments point-by-point. It is the definitive book for college students or faithful Christians hoping to answer Dawkins' claims and assert the logic and beauty of their faith. Parents are encouraged to read it for themselves and then share it with their high school and college aged children. This age group seems to be the target audience of atheists since teens have such a thirst for knowledge and can sometimes be easily swayed.
