About this listen

Richard Dawkins = Christian evangelist?

Editors Denis Alexander and Alister McGrath gather other intelligent minds from around the world to share their startling commonality: Richard Dawkins and his fellow New Atheists were instrumental in their conversions to Christianity. Despite a wide range of backgrounds and cultures, all are united in the fact that they were first enthusiasts for the claims and writings of the New Atheists. But each became disillusioned by the arguments and conclusions of Dawkins, causing them to look deeper and with more objectivity at religious faith. The fallacies of Christianity Dawkins warns of simply don't exist.

Spending time in this fascinating and powerful book is like being invited to the most interesting dinner party you've ever attended. Listen as twelve men and women from five different countries across a variety of professions—philosophers, artists, historians, engineers, scientists, and more—explain their journeys from atheism to faith. In the end, you may come away having reached the same conclusion: authentic Christian faith is in fact more intellectually convincing and rational than New Atheism.

An Insight into the Journey of Others.

I bought this book after reading a review online as I was curious - I've never read Dawkins or any of the other '4 Horsemen', but neither have I read any of the Christian apologists mentioned. I found it easy to listen to and, for the most part, enjoyed the different narratives. I was a little perturbed at various authors' denigration of Young Earth Creationists as they sounded a little like The New Atheists in the language they used, though not as vitriolic. That's my sole reason for giving it 4 stars, overall. I still recommend it. I also think it's a good stepping off point for anyone interested in examining an alternative to Atheism.
