In this new book Kenny has collected lectures and papers he has produced over the past 20 years. Church of England Newspaper, Paul Richardson, 11th February 2005

By profession I am a philosopher; and in the present century philosophers in this country have been keen to emphasize not only the difficulty of stating God's will on particular issues but the difficulty for human beings of saying anything intelligible at all about the nature of God. It is probably true to say that the majority of philosophers in this country in the last fifty years have been atheists of one kind or another.
