God
This was a response to Richard Dawkins' ' The God delusion' which I found quite helpful. Ward is a philospher and theologian who, in fact, Dawkins misquotes a couple of times in his book. It is quite interesting to see a rigourous mind at work and although his grasp of the philosphical niceties is far and beyond mine he does express himself clearly and concisely. His humour and ribbing of Dawkins' approach is far more respectful and open than that of his opponent but he still manages to make his points well. In gently pointing out that in Dawkins dismissing in three pages the work of centuries with his pronouncement of Acquinas' proofs of God as vacuous Dawkins himself is perhaps being a little lazy and failing to actually understand to what the proofs refer is a clever piece of analysis. He is genuinely explorative and seems quite able to handle the fact that perfectly intelligent and morally upright men and women do not share his point of view, this is something Richard Dawkins singularly failed to do. His over-riding point is an obvious one; if you dwell in a universe in which you refuse to contemplate the possibility that there might be a God, however you may envisage that, then no amount of arguing is going to make a difference. However, if your mindset is such that you are open or at least not totally closed to discovering hints or glimpses of such a possibility then this book could be for you. It is a rational, analytic approach to the God hypothesis.Enjoyable, amusing in parts and, as with Dawkins' own book, i found it thought provoking.
