Short description
David Robertson wanted there to be an intelligent Christian response to The God Delusion so he wrote an open letter to Richard Dawkins posted on his church website. This somehow found its way onto Dawkins own website where it generated the largest response before or since. The ferocity and shallowness of thinking of some of the responses spurred David to write further letters which form the basis of this book. They explain a credible basis for faith that counteracts the atheist myths that so much popular discussion is based upon. Christians and nonChristians need to know where Dawkins is weak and also how to explain things better The Dawkins Letters does this drawing upon Davids experience as debater letter writer pastor and author.To engage with the culture you need openness and honesty so there are points of agreement with Dawkins but that genuine spirit of inquiry also needs to point our where some of his thinking does not hold together.

Review
...thank you for your articulate responses to all of these (sometimes hostile) questions. I am definitely an atheist but I really appreciate some good healthy, well written debate. -An atheist responding to the first letter on Richard Dawkins' website
