The Atheist Delusions
David Bentley Hart
Back in the heyday of Dawkins, Hitchens and the New Atheists, David Bentley Hart challenged the basis of their negative view of Christianity. Hart dismantles the myths surrounding the "warfare" between science and faith, and argues that Christianity played a pivotal role in shaping Western values like human dignity and freedom.
Among all the many great transitions that have marked the evolution of Western civilisation ... there has been only one—the triumph of Christianity —that can be called in the fullest sense a "revolution": a truly massive and epochal revision of humanity's prevailing vision of reality, so pervasive in its influence and so vast in its consequences as to actually have created a new conception of the world, of history, of human nature, of time, and of the moral good.
