By Rowan Williams in March 2015

About this video

Runtime: 3 mins

Rowan Williams discusses the new atheists. Williams reflects on dialogues with the new atheists such as, Richard Dawkins, A.C. Grayling, and Philip Pullman. They note the cyclical nature of arguments against religion, which echo past concerns. New atheists often critique a simplistic Christian concept of God, neglecting nuanced theological views. Religion, for the speaker, isn't solely about explanations but responding to mystery and transcendence. Despite religion's historical flaws, it contains deep critical principles pushing intellectual boundaries.
