The Dawkins Delusion

Oxford University Reformed theologian and expert in science & Christianity Alister McGrath (together with his wife Joanna Collicutt McGrath) has published his rebuttal to Richard Dawkins's The God Delusion of 2006. It's entitled The Dawkins Delusion: Atheist fundamentalism and the denial of the divine, currently only available in the UK until Inter-Varsity Press publishes it in May. Should be a good read, as McGrath is known for his incisive critique. In the meantime, you could also listen to a lecture by McGrath on Dawkins's book available at the website of the CiS, where numerous other resources are collected, including the text of a recent presentation by McGrath. It is interesting to note that while McGrath and Dawkins live near one another in Oxford, they apparently interact mostly through their books, including McGrath's Dawkins' God of 2004.

Reformed epistemologist Alvin Plantinga has a great critique of Dawkins in the Mar/Apr 2007 issue of Books and Culture.
