"Rigorous and accessible philosophy at its best. Even seasoned Thomists will benefit." Ryan Anderson, First Things
"Superb... [Feser] gives the clearest, most helpful account of the famous Five Ways, the proofs St. Thomas gives for the existence of God, that I've read." R. R. Reno, Professor of Theology, Creighton University
"A breath of fresh air... Feser does yeoman's work in offering a clear and concise presentation of what can be very difficult to understand for the beginner." Francis J. Beckwith, Philosophia Christi
"At last. A concise, accessible and compelling introduction to Aquinas's thought. Feser shows that Aquinas's philosophy is still a live option for thinkers today." Kelly James Clark, Professor of Philosophy, Calvin College
"Lucid, cogent, and compelling. Required reading." Christopher Kaczor, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Loyola Marymount University
"Useful and easy to read. Students and scholars will find this highly beneficial." Fulvio di Blasi, President, Thomas International

ForeWord Magazine's Book of the Year in Religion
On Booklist Editors' Choice list of best books of 2008
From the reviews:
"[Feser] has the rare and enviable gift of making philosophical argument compulsively readable... The publisher's blurb tells us that this book has been widely hailed as the strongest argument ever made against the New Atheists. Having read and reviewed quite a number of other similar books, I concur with this judgment." Anthony Kenny, Times Literary Supplement
"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
"Feser is a talented philosopher who can present Christian thought in broad strokes or in fine detail with equal authority... Though I have spent a lifetime teaching and writing about the same matters as this book discusses, I was challenged and instructed on almost every page." Graeme Hunter, Touchstone
"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
"A tour de force that should be in the library of every thinking citizen, believer or unbeliever." Francis J. Beckwith, Professor of Philosophy and Church-State Studies, Baylor University
"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
"A brilliant, careful analysis." Fr. Kenneth Baker, Homiletic and Pastoral Review
"Flows with bonhomie and a gusto similar to a ringing oration -- an agreeable volume for picking up and putting down whenever one's earthly existence intrudes on the sublime." New Oxford Review
