Story4.5 out of 5 stars 227
In this provocative book one of the most brilliant scholars of religion today dismantles distorted religious "histories" offered up by Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, and other contemporary critics of religion and advocates of atheism. David Bentley Hart provides a bold correction of the New Atheists’s misrepresentations of the Christian past, countering their polemics with a brilliant account of Christianity and its message of human charity as the most revolutionary movement in all of Western history.

Great... except for narration

Didnt like the over articulated, robotic bass boost narration, desperately barron of anything resembling inflection or emotion, but I suffered it for the fantastic writing of David B Hart.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 407
A serious attack against Christianity by well-known newspaper editor Robert Blatchford in 1903 impelled Chesterton to seize the gauntlet of refutation. His reply was immensely successful and was the early formation of his convincing credo that is so brilliantly and cogently argued in Orthodoxy, a masterwork that was published just five years later.

I often had to rewind and re-listen to grasp the complexity of what was being said, especially having been speckled with British phrases and quips that are foreign to me, but in all this book was hugely inspirational and fuel for endless contemplation. Some incredibly concise and profound quotes litter the volume, too many to take any single quote by itself. There were many moments where Chesterton puts words to ideas familiar yet previously difficult to communicate. Some analogies went a little too far and numerous for my taste, but it's definitely something I plan t return to.
