Dennett v. McGrath
Alister McGrath has many books on my shelf. If you want to hear him beat down materialist-atheist Daniel Dennett then click here for a great audio file. Dennett is heralded as the new "Darwin's bulldog" along with his hero Richard Dawkins (author of The Blind Watchmaker).
The audio file is a debate between Dennett and McGrath over Dennett's new book Breaking the Spell which is a book about the scientific study of religion. Interestingly Dennett is trained in neither and McGrath has PhD's in both. I think Dennett is quite outclassed here.

Wow.... that was a lopsided debate. Mcgrath did a great job, Dennett didnt' sound very prepared.
Interesting debate. I am from Belfast too (same as McGrath).

Good luck with your studies!
