VOICES
OF DISBELIEF
My next book will be an edited collection, put together by Udo Schuklenk and myself, provisionally entitled Voices of Disbelief.
Udo is an eminent German-born philosopher, now based in
The book has grown from Udo's idea to put together a collection of
confessions or explanations of their lack of religious belief, written by a
wide range of people. In late 2007 and early 2008, we wrote to a large number
of prominent atheists, humanists, and religious sceptics, seeking their support
for the idea. Many of them replied enthusiastically. As a result, Voices of
Disbelief will appear from Blackwell Publishing in 2009. Blackwell
is a major academic publisher based in
Voices of Disbelief will contain a large number (50 to 60) essays by prominent authors, philosophers, journalists, and others who reject belief in religious dogma, including the existence of the Abrahamic God. These will be new essays by contributors aged from their 20s to their 80s, from all over the world.
I'll update this page with more information as the project develops.
