Which of Richard Dawkins' books is "on the Bible?"?
Earlier today, a Christian answered a question, mentioning that he'd read "Dawkins' book on the Bible." I was unaware that Dawkins wrote an book devoted to the Bible.
Does anyone have a clue which of Dawkins' books that guy was referring to? I'm not having any luck finding it.
thanks
@ James K. That's what I thought, but asking on R

Dawkins has written no books "on the Bible"
His books are mainly about evolution. The Selfish Gene, The Blind Watchmaker, Climbing Mt Improbable, River out of Eden, The Extended Phenotype, The Greatest Show on Earth, and The Ancestor's Tale are all on evolution. The Magic of Reality, Unweaving the Rainbow and A Devil's Chaplain are essays on more general science but including evolution. The God Delusion is his one and only book about atheism although it does get a brief mention in one or two others. An Appetite for Wonder is the first part of his autobiography.

none is specifically on the Bible, though many touch on the subject.
So your questioner is either mistaken, incomplete in his statement, or spouting a falsehood.

The fact that Dawkins even cares suggest he is a closet theist with mommy and daddy issues
