When Richard Dawkins published The God Delusion, David Robertson wanted an intelligent Christian response – and so he wrote it.

Reviews for The Dawkins Letters Revised Edition
"I have read your manuscript. In a word, it is SUPERB! You really do an extraordinary job."
Samuel Logan (International Director, World Reformed Fellowship) Wow, this is an intelligent and well-crafted view of RD's book.
Response from an atheist on Richard Dawkins Website The content is excellent. It's a fun, engaging read.
Ligon Duncan (Chancellor and CEO, Reformed Theological Seminary) The book does a particularly good job of point out the unending contradictions between what Dawkins wants to believe and what he must actually believe.
Tim Challies (Author, ‘Seasons of Sorrow’) This book is a more than useful contribution to the 'Dawkins Debate.'
Christian Marketplace (Resourcing retailers and suppliers) Brief, brilliant and compelling... It is a remarkable apologetic for the Christian faith and an essential tool in winning the battle of ideas. I'd give it ten stars if I could!
Richard Morris, Wesley Owen (NULL) This book is a refreshing, excellent read... I wouldn't hesitate to pass this book on to a non-Christian, atheistically-persuaded friend.
The Evangelical Magazine (Published by Evangelical Movement of Wales) "...probably the book's greatest triumph is that it doesn't come across as being a knee-jerk polemic right back at Dawkins, but rather a book that deals with bigger atheist arguments (myths) and as such has more value than just for the next few months."
Gary Aston, Youth Pastor, England This book is a more than useful contribution to the 'Dawkins Debate' and one which has helped me to understand more about the flawed arguments contained within The God Delusion. The book comprises a series of ten letters to Dawkins, the first of which was published on Dawkins' own website, which counter the arguments in Dawkins' book chapter by chapter. Robertson is clearly well-read and marshals his arguments in a balanced and intellectually sound way. But this is not an inaccessible academic treatise; he writes clearly and understandably in such a way that most people will be able to grasp the arguments easily. He avoids the temptation to 'rubbish' Dawkins, just dismantles and challenges his arguments frankly and cohesively. The final letter (to the reader) "Why Believe", contains a very useful and extensive reading list which most will never get to read in entirety but is helpful to have.
Christian Marketplace "This book is a refreshing, excellent read...I wouldn't hesitate to pass this book on to a non-Christian, atheistically-persuaded friend."
Hannah Wooley, Evangelical Magazine, Evangelical Movement of Wales "The shortest, the cheapest and in some ways the sharpest book is The Dawkins Letters ...clever, humourous and right to the point."
Ron Ferguson, Life & Work, Church of Scotland magazine Note from the author: The poster, 'richarddawkins.net' (is this an official view?) accuses me of lying and gives the example of the quotes on the cover of the book having been made up. From a Christian perspective this accusation of lying by either myself or CFP is very serious. Lying for Jesus is obviously self contradictory and wrong. The example that the poster gives is just wrong. All the quotes came from the Dawkins website, were seen by many people, and I have copies of them all. However over 300 posts were removed from that particular thread - including many of my own posts and all the ones referred to in the book. Perhaps it was just a coincidence but whatever the case those quotes did exist. If the poster is writing on behalf of richarddawkins.net, they know this and therefore are themselves not telling the truth. It is not the first time that a lie is told in order to accuse others of lying. It is very strange that richarddawkins.net are so keen to accuse me of lying, it indicates a certain level of desperation. They are struggling to answer The Dawkins Letters and so have to revert to attacking the author.
David Robertson Wow, this is an intelligent and well-crafted view of RD's book.
