Sunday Times - '...he (Dawkins) might find some of the (other) arguments made by Cornwell in this short and elegantly written response (more) worthy of consideration.'The Times - 'This book is a piece of sheer heaven. It kicks Richard Dawkins' self-aggrandising polemic, The God Delusion, into touch with featherlight footwork and is deliciously wise, witty and intellectually sharp into the bargain.'Independent - 'Cornwell has done an excellent job in providing a book that should, in an ideal world, be sold taped to every copy of The God Delusion as an essential corrective.'New Scientist - 'It's an ace for Cornwell.'

John Cornwell's books include Hitler's Pope and, most recently, Seminary Boy. He is Director of the Science and Human Dimension Project at Jesus College, Cambridge
