![]() ![]() Aristotle’s proof that there is a prime mover or pure being-God-remains solid. ![]() Feser chooses to argue from Aristotle because he was not arguing from any religious perspective and because Aristotle’s logic, his rationality, hasn’t been improved upon or refuted by modern philosophy. “Their books stand out for their manifest ignorance” of the Western religious tradition, he says, “and for the breathtaking shallowness of their philosophical analysis of religious matters.” Far better than such no-quarters rhetoric, however, are the review of pre-Aristotelian philosophy and the summary of Aristotelian metaphysics and Thomas Aquinas’ refinements of Aristotle that make up the heart, soul, and bulk of the book. *Starred Review* New Atheists Richards Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Daniel Dennett, and Sam Harris get their comeuppance from philosopher Feser in the spirit with which they abuse believers. ![]()

He bombards every believer’s mind with sexual images and thoughts. Satan always targets the mind-it is our primary battlefield. In this battle for our mind, Paul says we must “take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” Our enemy is relentless in trying to conquer his prey, and lust is one of his most commonly used weapons. In order to be holy and pure, both in heart and body, we must fight. Like Matthew 5:29-30, this passage uses warfare terminology for our battle against sin.
