The Last Superstition: A Refutation of the New Atheism by Edward Feser .

It can be a bit of a dry read at times BUT IMO, this is one of the better books out there in regards to the philosophical issues present in Atheism.
His chapter on Aquinas is worth the book alone.

Thumbs up all the way. His other book: Aquinas, a beginner's guide, is equally as good.
Let us proclaim the mystery of our faith: Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again.

Lord I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.

Thanks Paul, I'll put it on my Amazon long list of books to buy.
Your outward profession of having put on Christ, has as yet to put off Plato from your heart!

You would do well to move it to the front of that long list. Good books are worth reading. Great books are required reading. There are few of the latter, and both the ones mentioned in this thread qualify for that illustrious category.

And that, brothers and sisters, is the kind of foolishness you get people who insist on denying biblical theism. A good illustration of any as the length people will go to avoid acknowledging basic truths.
