In 2006, Sam Harris made quite a stir with his best-selling book, Letter to a Christian Nation. In that book, he identified the Christian faith as the source of a host of evils, from Sub-Saharan AIDS to the imminent threat of a theocratically directed nuclear Holocaust. Dr. Daniel Horace Fernald first highlights the numerous gaping holes in Harris’ presentation, and then proceeds to challenge the very basis of Harris’ thesis: that Christian faith is by its very nature opposed to reason, science, and civil discourse. Fernald dispels this twisted caricature of Christians and their faith by demonstrating that it is actually the atheist worldview that is irrational, and that rationality itself is impossible without the God described in the Old and New Testaments. Using an approach adapted from presuppositional Christian apologetics, Fernald defends the faith and takes the battle to Harris, by showing the intellectual and moral emptiness of atheism. Dr. Daniel Horace Fernald is an accidental Christian conservative. He was born in New York City, studied French literature at the Sorbonne (University of Paris IV), and concluded his professional training by earning a Ph.D. in Philosophy at Atlanta’s Emory University. From these inauspicious beginnings, he found his way to Christ through an odd and circuitous path. A former tenured University professor and refugee from the academic asylum, he is the author of over 20 scholarly works. As a Paris-educated New Yorker, and adult convert to Christianity, he has survived numerous grillings by wary church elders, but is none the worse for wear. Dr. Fernald currently serves as Executive Director of The Christian Lyceum, an independent charitable apologetic, education, and hospitality ministry.

Comprehensive rebuttal of Sam Harris' Letter to a Christian Nation

Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2010

Devastating logic expressed with concise prose, Daniel Fernald's book Atheism Answered responds with point-by-point analysis of the glaring logical fallacies to be found in Sam Harris' pro-atheism screed titled Letter to a Christian Nation.

Fernald clearly identifies the key tactics of atheists who describe themselves with terms like "rationalist" or "free thinker", implying that Christians in particular are enslaved to their faith and irrational for believing in God. The professor of philosophy and rhetoric eviscerates more than twenty logical errors and conclusions made by Harris in his book.

What Divine Evolution attempted to do in response to Richard Dawkins' book The God Delusion, Daniel Fernald succeeds in doing for Sam Harris' Letter to a Christian Nation with his book, Atheism Answered.

-John Leonard, author of Divine Evolution

Fun and Logic

Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2011

Daniel Fernald is a word master and professor teaching logic. Poor Mr. Harris didn't stand a chance. This book could have been a dry treatise. While intellectually rigorous, "Atheism Answered" is a fun read. Mr. Fernald had some fun taking on Sam.
