Book Review: What's So Great About Christianity by Dinesh D'Souza
by Patricia Mondore
I wasn't planning on reading this book, but after Patty's review, I might have to get it. Has anybody else read it?

I haven't read it. I have read some of D'Souza's articles and blog entries though and I've found him to provoke a lot of thinking and to make some strong statements that are worthy of examination. He seems to be ascending as a voice in the public discourse responding to the New Atheism movement pushed by Dawkins, Dennett, Harris and Hitchens.Rich wrote:Book Review: What's So Great About Christianity by Dinesh D'Souza

Along these lines, here's an interesting article on the Templeton Prize winner recently announced that might be worthy of note.

I know that this is a little late, but I just finished that book and it's amazing. The only bad thing about it is that if I try to read another book on apologetics, I'd just keep on thinking "this books is nowhere as good as What's So Great About Cristianity."

Yep, I read it a couple of times already.
A nice common sense intro to apologetics for the "every day christian".
Dinesha's book about the after life is very interesting also.

I wish Dinesh D'Souza picked a different title for this book. Whenever I read it in public, everybody thought I was reading one of those atheist books. It's still amazing.
