From a bestselling author, an "incendiary and uproarious" assault on the pretensions of scientific atheists (National Review)
Militant atheism is on the rise. Prominent thinkers including Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett, and Christopher Hitchens have published best-selling books denigrating religious belief. And these authors are merely the leading edge of a larger movement that includes much of the scientific community. In response, mathematician David Berlinski, himself a secular Jew, delivers a biting defense of religious thought. The Devil's Delusion is a brilliant, incisive, and funny book that explores the limits of science and the pretensions of those who insist it is the ultimate touchstone for understanding our world.
David Berlinski holds a Ph.D. from Princeton University and has taught mathematics and philosophy at universities in the United States and France. He is a senior fellow of the Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture. The bestselling author of A Tour of the Calculus and Newton's Gift, as well as many other books, he lives in Paris.
