I read your blog here and hope you don't mind me commenting. I heard one atheist say of the books you mention that they are to atheism what pro-wrestling is to sports: fun to watch but without much real substance. (Much the same could be said of some Christian books, I suppose.) Nonetheless there have been a number of direct responses by Christians. For instance, Douglas Wilson debated Christopher Hitchens in Christianity Today: http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2007/mayweb-only/119-12.0.html This debate is also being republished as a book, and Wilson has published responses to Harris's and Dawkins's books as well. See: http://www.dougwils.com/index.asp?Action=Anchor&CategoryID=1&BlogID=5881 And Dinesh D'Souza debated Hitchens in person (giving him a solid spanking, if I were to judge the final product): http://www.isi.org/lectures/flvplayer/lectureplayer.aspx?file=v000187_cicero_102207.flv D'Souza has other online video debates with atheists too, which you can find with Google.

I read this over the summer and I think it is FABULOUS! It is deep without being too heady and it gives sensible, normal explanations to skeptics questions. It really appeals to me as a Gen X person. Enjoy it! Hey Ladies, I am Rinnie’s college friend who lurks on this site on occasion. I read this over the summer and I think it is FABULOUS!
