From this review, it appears Dawkins is seriously out of his element and makes a bunch of banal arguments. He seems ignorant of the history of Christian theology and doesn't engage the major apologists and philosophers

I think I'll pass on this book.

The trouble is that Dawkins is frozen at the 13 year old anarchist/nihilist stage of philosophical development, and he has quite a following of stunted fellows.

A rehash of Enlightenment views of religion, but, as the reviewer points out, in Victorian language and with arguments better made by Lord Russell. Russell was at least a competent philosopher if also personally a cad.
