| Summary |
"For a generation now, public debate has been corroded by a shrill, narrow derision of religion in the name of an often vaugely understood 'science.' John Gray's... new book, Seven Types of Atheism, describes the complex, dynamic world of older atheisms, a tradition that, he writes, is in many ways intertwined with and as rich as religion itself."--Dust jacket flap. |
