The New Atheism by Michael Poole
The new atheists are putting out new books and articles, bus adverts and TV programmes like there's no tomorrow. They've gained a large amount of public attention and media exposure - but do their arguments really hold water? Using the analogy put forward by the esteemed philosopher Anthony Flew, Michael Poole examines the new atheists' use of the 'ten leaky buckets' tactic of argumentation - presenting readers with a sum of arguments that are each individually defective, as though the cumulative effect should be persuasive. This closer look at the facts reveals that the buckets are, indeed, leaky.
..many Christians will find Poole’s little book informative and helpful. It is the king of booklet you can give away with reasonable hope that the recipient will take the time to read it. -- BB * Australian Journal for Christian Scholarship *
