The Rage Against the Light: Why Christopher Hitchens Was Wrong

Christopher Hitchens was the most eloquent of the New Atheists. With great rhetorical polish and an encyclopedic mind for historical facts and literary quotations he presents the case of anti-theism very effectively. Though now deceased Hitchens arguments continue to reverberate through his best-selling books and online presence. God asserts Hitchens would be if he existed the greatest of dictators. Religion according to Hitchens is morally bankrupt and madly irrational. The world is better off without them! But is this true? It is the purpose of this book to identify Hitchens worldview in order to subject it to a critique that will powerfully expose its many flaws. Rather than a dictator God will be shown to be a God of love. Christianity too will be revealed as a faith that ought to resist tyranny provides the best foundation for intrinsic human value and is a rational belief-system. In so doing this book appeals to all who have been influenced or convinced by Hitchens arguments to reconsider their position and refuse to rage against the light.
