It is impossible to make a man understand something if his livelihood depends on not understanding it. – Upton Sinclair
Joel L. Watts holds a Masters of Arts from United Theological Seminary with a focus in literary and rhetorical criticism of the New Testament. His interests include exploring the role of mimesis in human civilization, specifically in the study of religion and media, as well as science fiction and the way in which it has allowed mythology to be explored in light of scientific discoveries of the past century. He is the author of Mimetic Criticism of the Gospel of Mark: Introduction and Commentary (Wipf and Stock, 2013) and a co-editor and contributor to From Fear to Faith: Stories of Hitting Spiritual Walls (Energion, 2013).

That explains Dawkins perfectly. New Athiesm made him a rich(er) man.
By the way, I asked my local Christian bookshop to order your book From Fear to faith today but they couldn’t find it on their computer listings, hence couldn’t order it.
It should be out in the middle of the month, I think
And his biology books never made him a penny?
Cute.
High school kids weren’t buying his biology books. After retirement, Dawkins picked the perfect new moneyspinner.
So if he only wrote on atheism in retirement, how does his livelihood depend on it? Oxford doesn’t have decent pensions?
