Rezension

"Overall, Blackford and Schu¨ klenk's work is a valuable contribution to the debate between believers and non-believers." (Journal of Contemporary Religion, 1 August 2014)
 
Review appeared in Times Higher Education - 2 January 2014
"I am happy to report that Blackford and Schüklenk's collaboration has given us an intellectually rigorous yet compositionally relaxed book. It is clearly written, clear-headed, and amusing on occasion (especially with the inclusion of comics from the Jesus & Mo website). It is simply organized, as the title indicates, with the authors taking on the 50 Myths one by one." (Neworld Review, Vol 6. No. 46)
"I recommend it as useful reading both to those who are freethinkers (whatever they call themselves, be it atheists, agnostics or secularists) and to "believers", particularly the hard-core religious ones, though it might prove "heavy-going" for them at times, and they are unlikely to be able to suspend belief and permit scepticism to intrude into their "blind faith"." (New Nurturing Potential, 1 September 2013)
