What the papers say about ‘Does God believe in atheists?’ Hardback edition voted ‘Best Christian Book’ at the inaugural UK Christian Resources Awards in 2000 Three large reprints in its first year ‘Destined to be a classic on the subject’
‘Does God believe in Atheists? has been in constant demand ever since publication. This first paperback edition is revised and updated and includes as an Appendix the full text of John Blanchard’s Dealing with Dawkins.
‘A powerful, wholly successful attack on the whole credibility, reality and even viability of atheism. This is one of those books which so convinces its readers 40% of the way through that further reading might not be necessary. It is quite a page-turner and at times I could not put it down. How many writers on beliefs/ideas have managed this? How many historians of philosophy/theology. I can’t think of any at all’.
Affirming the Faith
‘A great book … filled with scads of information that will equip any Christian who reads it. This is truly a one-stop shopping book on apologetics. You will find something interesting and valuable on every page. You must get this book.’
Evangelical Magazine of Wales
‘John Blanchard has put us greatly in his debt with this extensively researched and lucidly written ‘encyclopaedia’ of atheists’ arguments and the responses to them. The case is so well made out one wonders why a reasonable person reading the book, or presented with its arguments, could remain an unbeliever!’
The Banner of Truth
‘One cannot put too high a value on this book, which is a rich source of information and will be much consulted. It is a brilliant defence of the faith and finishes where all Christian books about atheism should finish — by glorifying Him who upholds all things by the Word of his power.’
Gospel Standard
‘This is a remarkable book. It has been thoroughly researched, resulting in a work of great significance. There is subtlety in the title which says something about Blanchard’s lively and engaging style. Here is quality fuel for debate and stimulating food for thought.’
Methodist Recorder
‘Using an eminently readable format, Blanchard addresses every major aspect of belief in God and the denial of his existence. This book is essential reading for anyone who questions the existence of God or who wants to understand how we can know that the God of the Bible really exists.’
Today
‘John Blanchard offers us a feast for the mind and heart that will not only satisfy but will also likely awaken some new appetites. It has the potential to strengthen your faith and increase your ability to communicate the wonder and love of our Creator God.’
Moody
‘A veritable storehouse, laying out much of popular thinking clearly and providing good responses.’
Vox Reformata Australia
‘An excellent resource of outstanding relevance: comprehensive, earnest, eminently readable, apologetically sound, compelling and evangelistic.’
