Blanchard goes point-for-point in answering Dawkins' objections to the world-view that God exists, that the gospel of Christ is amenable to reasoned thought, and that despite some anomalous incidents and activities in history Christ and His followers have done the world immeasurable good.

The God of the Bible, by the revelation He has given to humankind, has given us true knowledge of ourselves and our world (including the spiritual dimension), without which we would lack full understanding of it. As Blanchard also makes clear, God, through His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, has graciously provided a way of escape from a horrific peril we humans face, that being the ruination of our nature through sin (breaking the laws of life and love), at great cost to Himself. In this He has provided forgiveness of sin and cleansing from it, and eternal life in a sinless and pristine world that He shall bring forth after the day of judgment.

Not all women and men have faith, and some ridicule those who do, but Blanchard in this little book (less than 100 small pages) gives very good answers to Dawkins' opinions, such that enable a defense of the faith to those who use *The God Delusion* to attack them. Brevity and depth are strong points of *Dealing with Dawkins*.

Blanchard shows that the gospel of Christ is historically verifiable, intellectually sound, and of supreme spiritual importance -- indeed, life-or-death important, seeing that Jesus died for sinners, in their place, that all who trust Him should not be condemned, but made righteous in God's eyes by faith.
