There were, of course, many other significant contributions to the God debate in the last decade. This list represents only those works explicity responsive to the New Atheist challenge. Our book stacks include a wealth of volumes of a less occasional nature, many of which are likely to have more enduring influence. No doubt, the many volumes here vary in quality and I've read only a fraction. Bolded items are volumes I can vouch for as worthy of consideration.
Articles
As I remember and rediscover them, I'll be adding a list of online articles as well. Critics here include both theists and non-theists.
