Reason, Faith, and Revolution

”‘Terry Eagleton’s intervention into the debate sparked by Richard Dawkins’s The God Delusion is, by turns, thought-provoking, infuriating, inspiring and very, very funny.’ London Review of Books ‘a gloriously rumbustious counter-blast to Dawkinsite atheism… paradoxes sparkle throughout this coruscatingly brilliant polemic… This is, then, a demolition job which is both logically devastating and a magnificently whirling philippic… Much of what it says is too true.’ Paul Vallely, The Independent ‘Eagleton’s book began as a series of lectures delivered at Yale University. They must have been a riot… He’s fantastically rude all round, about ‘Ditchkins’, about religion itself… It’s terrific polemic.’ Melanie McDonagh, Evening Standard”

Terry Eagleton is Distinguished Professor of English Literature at the University of Lancaster, England, and Professor of Cultural Theory at the National University of Ireland, Galway.
