Richard Dawkins recently claimed that ‘no theologian has ever produced a satisfactory response to his arguments’. Well-known broadcaster and author Keith Ward is one of Britain’s foremost philosopher-theologians. This is his response. Ward welcomes all comers into philosophy’s world of clear definitions, sharp arguments, and diverse conclusions. But when Dawkins enters this world, his passion tends to get the better of him, and he descends into stereotyping, pastiche, and mockery. In this stimulating and thought-provoking philosophical challenge, Ward demonstrates not only how Dawkins’ arguments are flawed, but that a perfectly rational case can be made that there, almost certainly, is a God.
