====Terry and Gifford Lectures==== In April 2008 Eagleton delivered [[Yale University]]'s [[Terry Lectures]], with the title ''Faith and Fundamentalism: Is belief in Richard Dawkins necessary for salvation?'', constituting a continuation of the critique he had begun in ''The London Review of Books''. Introducing his first lecture with an admission of ignorance of both theology and science, Eagleton goes on to affirm: "All I can claim in this respect, alas, is that I think I may know just about enough theology to be able to spot when someone like Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens β a couplet I shall henceforth reduce for convenience to the solitary signifier ''Ditchkins'' β is talking out of the back of his neck."<ref>{{cite video |people=Terry Eagleton (lecturer) |date=1 April 2008 |title=Christianity Fair and Foul |url=http://www.yale.edu/terrylecture/eagleton.html |format=rm |medium=Podcast |publisher=[[Yale University]] |access-date=4 August 2009 |time=6:23 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090806031121/http://www.yale.edu/terrylecture/eagleton.html |archive-date=6 August 2009}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last=Eagleton |first=Terry |title=Faith and Fundamentalism: Is Belief in Richard Dawkins Necessary for Salvation? |work=[[Dwight H.
