The Devil's Delusion: Atheism and Its Scientific Pretensions

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I am grateful to Ann Coulter for having brought the idea for this book to the attention of Crown Forum.

And I am grateful to my editor, Jed Donahue, and my agent, Susan Ginsburg, for the careful reading they gave the manuscript.

Many of the ideas that I present in this book were first expressed in essays that I have written for Commentary over the past ten years. I am deeply indebted to Neal Kozodoy for affording me the hospitality of his journal, and for his own incisive and very often skeptical reaction to what I wrote.

It is a special pleasure to record my indebtedness to the Discovery Institute for loyal support over many years. That the institute has been vilified by all the right people is a special sort of satisfaction.
