Summary
Atheism is on the march in the western world, and its enemy is God.
Religion, the "New Atheists" claim, is "dangerous", "kills", or "poisons" everything. And if religion is the problem with the world, their answer is simple: Get rid of it. But are things really so straightforward?
Tackling the likes of Richard Dawkins, Stephen Hawking, Christopher Hitchens, and Daniel Dennett head on, John Lennox highlights the fallacies in the their approach, arguing that their irrational and unscientific methodology leaves them guilty of the same obstinate foolishness of which they accuse dogmatic religious folks.
Erudite and wide-ranging, Gunning for God packs some debilitating punches. It also puts forward new ideas about the nature of God and Christianity that will give the New Atheists' best friends and worst enemies alike some stimulating food for thought.

Brilliant book... but....
John lennox is one of those people who explains things in a way most of us wouldn't think to describe, not to mention he has access to dedicated scholars in their fields to back up what he is saying, so can be trusted as true. One thing i will mention though is the accent of the narrator, Im not talking about the american accent, we are all used to that, but whatever he is doing with some words is distracting to say the least. Words like reality, christianity, he doesn't pronounce them properly, he puts an A in very important words, like christianitaay, or realitaay or marolitaay... its so annoying, and after hours of listening to that, it becomes quite grating, and you end up not listening to the book, but just waiting for the next time he does it. Doesn't anyone ever vet these things in the early stages, to make sure they are at least speaking in a way that isn't too strong in accent of his own region.

Atheists and Believers alike need to read this book
Dr Lennox is a great expositor using evidenced information to demonstrate his arguments. I will be sharing with friends and family to promote discussions and enlightenment.

Book - Excellent, Narration - Issues
This book is excellent, so good that I think it's still worth listening to, despite the narration issues. However, it really needs re-recording. The narrator is easy to listen to, but word pronunciation is sometimes wrong, especially with people's names. In other places, it was frustrating that words were mis-read. In one section, "causal relationship" was mis-read as "casual relationship" multiple times! Regarding the book itself, John Lennox is fantastic and so is this book, I'd say it's unmissable for anyone interested in this topic.

Great content, terrible narration
This is like having a book read to you by the Siri voice on your phone. I managed to complete the book and did get used to the voice to a degree, but a great deal is lost due to the monotony and odd syllable emphasis of the narrator.
The content was genuinely great and as a bit of a 'doubting thomas' Christian I enjoyed the content of the book greatly, discussing in an intelligent and honest manner some of the challenging questions that the 'new atheists' have raised. I imagine I would have enjoyed it more in paper.

Deeper inside in apostology
I watched a lot of debates with Phd Lennox to came to this book.. All his insights as a phylosfers and mathematician gave me great insights in the christian God and religion. A great counter piece to Richard Dawkin's The god delussion. Lots of acceptable answers to life questions.

Maybe i had wrong expectations
I would describe this book as a collection of sermons. Although it contains many interesting reasonings against atheism, i was personally expecting and hoping for less theology/philosophy and more science.
