Post-Enlightened: Reflections on Two Hundred Years of Anti-Christian Writing from Thomas Paine to Richard Dawkins

by Cody Cook, Tom Gilson (Foreword)

In Post-Enlightened, Cody Cook gives an overview of the evolution of anti-Christian writing after the Enlightenment, highlighting its arguments and hidden assumptions. Beginning with Thomas Paine's The Age of Reason and working through works by Friedrich Nietzsche (The Antichrist) and Bertrand Russell (Why I'm Not a Christian) in centuries past, the book concludes with a look at contemporary anti-Christian writings from Dan Barker (Godless) and Richard Dawkins (The God Delusion). Post-Enlightened asks what Christians can learn from outsider critiques and what outsiders still have failed to understand about the Christian faith.

Everything I ever wanted to know on this topic. While I am a confirmed Christian, it is important for me to know what these people are saying. This book was helpful.
