Four horsemen (Transworld Publ. Ltd UK)

The Discussion that Sparked an Atheist Revolution Foreword by Stephen Fry Known as the;four horsemen' of New Atheism, these four big thinkers of the twenty-first century met only once. Their electrifying examination of ideas on this remarkable occasion was intense and wide-ranging.

Everything that was said as they agreed and disagreed with one another, interrogated ideas and exchanged insights - about religion and atheism, science and sense - speaks with urgency to our present age.

Questions they asked of each other included: `Is it ever possible to win a war of ideas$279 Is spirituality the preserve of the religious$280 Are there any truths you would rather not know$281 Would you want to see the end of faith$282' The dialogue was recorded, and is now transcribed and presented here with new introductions from the surviving three horsemen.

With a sparkling introduction from Stephen Fry, it makes essential reading for all their admirers and for anyone interested in exploring the tensions between faith and reason.
