Description
Darwin’s Angel by John Cornwell is a thoughtful and accessible response to The God Delusion, engaging with its arguments through a more reflective and conversational approach. Rather than offering a direct or confrontational rebuttal, Cornwell frames the discussion as a dialogue, using the imaginative perspective of a “guardian angel” to explore questions of faith, atheism, and belief. The book examines key claims made in Dawkins’ work, highlighting perceived logical gaps and factual issues while presenting alternative viewpoints grounded in religious and philosophical thought. With a tone that is often playful yet intellectually engaged, Cornwell invites readers—whether sceptical, undecided, or committed believers—to reconsider the relationship between science and religion.
This concise work is suited to those interested in contemporary debates on faith, particularly readers looking for a measured and accessible counterpoint within the wider discussion on atheism and belief.
