“ Phillip Ryan is a talented author. He writes with humour and subtlety... This is a lovely book.” -- Tom Korski * Blacklock's Reporter, Saturday February 7, 2015 * ‘Ryan has written a lucid, balanced book on the New Atheist debate; free of rancor, invective, and name-calling… The work is highly recommended for detailing the logical and moral weaknesses in much New Atheist, anti-religious polemics.’ -- Peter Admirand * The Heythrop Journal vol 56:2015 * ‘After the New Atheist Debate offers a fascinating glimpse into the arguments, polemics, and caricatures this debate has inspired along with innovative suggestions concerning how we might better navigate our shared social context through meaningful dialogue.’ -- Ian Alexander * Reading Religion: A Publication of American Academy of Religion, November 2016 * After the New Atheist Debate succeeds in shifting a weary and tension-filled intellectual exchange onto new ground…. It conveys a powerful and much needed social message: there is hope for public discourse.’ -- K.P, Scholaries * European Journal of Theology, vol 25:02:2016 *
