Coming to Faith Through Dawkins: 12 Essays on the Pathway from New Atheism to Christianity
4.70 out of 5 stars
Description
"The book is like a breath of fresh air. It's a collection of stories that are both deeply personal and intellectually stimulating. It's a must-read for anyone who is genuinely interested in exploring the rational foundations of Christian faith." --Craig Keener, Asbury Theological Seminary
Imagine a gathering of brilliant minds from around the world, each with a remarkable story to tell: how Richard Dawkins, the champion of New Atheism, inadvertently led them to Christianity. Despite their diverse backgrounds and cultures, these individuals share a common thread - they were once ardent followers of Dawkins' ideas, only to become disillusioned with his arguments and conclusions. As they delved deeper and more objectively into religious faith, they discovered that the flaws Dawkins warned against simply didn't exist. This fascinating book is akin to attending a captivating dinner party, where twelve individuals from five countries and various professions - philosophers, artists, historians, engineers, scientists, and more - recount their journeys from atheism to faith. You may find yourself reaching the same surprising conclusion: authentic Christian faith is, in fact, more intellectually convincing and rational than New Atheism. Praise for the book includes: "Lucid, exhilarating, and wide-ranging" (Rupert Shortt, Von Hügel Institute, University of Cambridge); "I would never have thought that Dawkins's rantings were the spur to Christian faith" (Michael Ruse, Professor of Philosophy Emeritus, University of Guelph, Ontario); "This is a novel book... it must be his own worst nightmare!" (William Lane Craig, Houston Christian University); and "A collection of stories that are both deeply personal and intellectually stimulating... a must-read" (Craig Keener, Asbury Theological Seminary).
