God is No Thing: coherent Christianity
RUPERT SHORTT

The pervasiveness of relativism, the sidelining of religion to the realm of the private and, perhaps, just good manners, have all conspired to make apologetics unfashionable. Until, that is, the advent of so-called “New Atheism”. The scornful scepticism of the new atheists has spawned a new and combative apologetics. The problem with many of these apologetical tracts is that they replicate the scorn without dispelling the scepticism.
God is No Thing takes a different approach. Its author, the religion editor of the TLS, biographer of a former Archbishop of Canterbury and of a former Pope, and a one-time member of the Tablet editorial staff, sets out with modesty, sensitivity and unfailing courtesy to demonstrate the coherence of Christian belief, managing along the way to encompass a remarkably wide range of topics, with elegance and economy.
