By David Bentley Hart (2013), a defense of classical theism arguing that God in the major theistic traditions (Christian, Jewish, Islamic, Hindu, Buddhist) refers to the same metaphysical ground of being — Being, Consciousness, and Bliss — and that the New Atheist critique misses this entirely.
Distinguished the God of classical theism (ipsum esse subsistens, pure act, ground of being) from the demiurge god the New Atheists attack; demonstrated the philosophical incoherence of materialist atheism.
