On Booklist Editors' Choice list of best books of 2008

"Edward Feser... is an immensely talented Aristotelico-Thomistic philosopher, and the pages he devotes to explaining the proofs for the existence of God are as clear, cogent, and convincing as any I’ve ever read (and I’ve read many)."
National Review

"With energy and humor as well as transparent exposition, Feser reestablishes the unassailable superiority of classical philosophy." ALA Booklist (starred review)

"Melds philosophic acumen with an acute sense of humor, steadily dismantling the philosophic claims of Dawkins, Hitchens, Dennett, and others... a sharp critique of modern philosophical errors." 
Review of Metaphysics

"If Dawkins, Dennett, Harris, and Hitchens were at all interested in a serious rebuttal, they now have it." David Oderberg, Professor of Philosophy, University of Reading

"Thoughtful and theologically sophisticated... serious and passionately engaged." Roger Kimball, co-editor and publisher,
The New Criterion

"Learned, carefully reasoned, and philosophically astute." J. Budziszewski, Departments of Government and Philosophy, University of Texas at Austin, author of What We Can't Not Know: A Guide

"A crushing reply to the string of recent books by the so-called New Atheists... a stunning work." Thomas Woods, author of
Meltdown

"A wonderfully clear overview of Thomism." James Kalb, author of
The Tyranny of Liberalism

"More than anything else, Feser deserves praise for showing, in a comprehensible way, that philosophy makes sense and remains terribly relevant to how to live well in the world today." National Catholic Register

"Brilliant... I have never seen the topics that Feser discusses presented so clearly... Agree with him or not, anyone who reads The Last Superstition will learn a great deal about philosophy." David Gordon, The Ludwig von Mises Institute

"If [atheists] were willing to dispassionately consider the case for theism that Feser builds here, they would come away from reading this book with their confidence profoundly shaken." Patrick Madrid, Envoy Magazine
