Kritik
"His book is the first to approach the issue from a historical perspective as opposed to a philosophical or theological perspective. ... This book should be required reading for Orthodox priests and indeed anyone who partakes in or follows the debates between atheism and theism, particularly those that involve the New Atheists. It has a unique, almost neutral approach which is a breath of fresh air in these debates." (Iain Elabo, Orthodoxy in Dialogue, October 14, 2019)
"The New Atheism, Myth, and History intends to overcome this lack of critical reflection on the cultural and historical claims from a predominantly historical perspective. ... Nathan Johnstone'sThe New Atheism, Myth, and History. The Black Legends of Contemporary Anti-Religion is a must read for anyone who seriously seeks to engage inthe debate concerning the historical and culture impact of religion on the course of history." (Benedikt Paul Göcke, Reading Religion, readingreligion.org, January, 2019)mehr
