Book Description

"Using his probing intelligence to criticize the views of pundits from Locke to Chomsky, from Ayer to religious apologists, G. A. Wells has produced a lively essay on the persistent mistakes that have been made in understanding the relations among things, words, and ideas. The chapter entitled Language and the Bible is a gem. It should delight skeptics even as it challenges believers. What’s in a Name? shows, as if it still needed to be shown, that Wells is one of the foremost religious critics of our time."
