In a telling critique cast in the classical form of a letter to atheist Richard Dawkins, Cornwell playfully repudiates the arguments in "The God Delusion," posing alternative viewpoints from the vantage point of a friendly guardian angel.
Richard Dawkins's The God Delusion has been one of the most divisive books of modern times. Whilst championed by atheists, the response from the majority of the religious community was one of dismissive anger. John Cornwell reacted differently.
Masquerading as a guardian angel, Cornwell corrects Dawkins on his errors of judgement and fundamental misunderstanding of faith. Instead of anger Cornwell confronts Dawkins calmly, offering rational, reasoned opinions, defending religion with elegance and great imagination.
