The End of Faith

The premise of THE END OF FAITH -- that religious faith is not only illogical and irrational, but ultimately dangerous --is challenging. Fortunately, Brian Emerson's clear and evenly paced narration allows listeners to concentrate on the ideas being presented. This is not to say that Emerson's delivery is dry and didactic. His tonal range accurately conveys the author's quiet horror at the atrocities committed over the ages in the name of religion. Emerson also captures Harris's wry humor when examining the ironies to be found in the clash of reason and faith. The book lends itself well to audio. Listeners will undoubtedly make good use of "rewind" to re-hear and re-think the arguments presented. M.O.B. (c) AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine
