Good read. A host of good insights. Very witty. Best be ready for a strong dose of sarcasm. As the subtitle indicates, Berlinski attacks the scientific pretensions of atheism. He shows atheism to be what it is, an "ism," not an unavoidable conclusion from science. Coming from someone so closely associated with the sciences, he carries a good deal of weight. Berlinski characterizes himself as a "secular Jew," hence he does not write from a Christian perspective. Yet, as a Christian, I found much to appreciate in the book, though as a Christian I don't think I could have written with quite that much sarcasm. But I must confess, I found myself enjoying it.

I liked this book. I'm no expert on the Middle Ages, and I'm afraid I held several stereotypical misconceptions of the period that Hannam artfully demolishes in this very interesting (if you're interested in this sort of thing) read. For example, most educated people in the Middle Ages did not believe the world was flat, and Columbus' sailors did not fear sailing off the edge of the world; the church was not opposed to the advancement of scientific knowledge, as is evidenced by the fact that most natural philosophers (their version of modern scientists) were also trained theologians, and many of them were cardinals in the church; and no one really argued about how many angels could dance on the head of a pin. I have an enriched understanding of this era of history and appreciation for the foundations that were laid during this time that was anything but intellectually "Dark."
