Publisher's Summary
Could We Be Witnessing a Return of Belief in Our Generation?
Justin Brierley is convinced that in our time we are witnessing a growing wave of faith.
Famously described as the “long, withdrawing roar” of the “Sea of Faith,” the Christian narrative that shaped the West has been replaced by sweeping secularism. But is that the end of the story?
It was a conversation with agnostic journalist Douglas Murray that led Brierley to investigate whether a change was on the horizon. Speaking of the “Sea of Faith,” Murray remarked that tides come back in again and that a number of his intelligent friends had converted to Christianity in recent years. Brierley was seeing a similar trend among the secular thinkers he had interviewed. Jordan Peterson, Tom Holland, Dave Rubin, and many others have found themselves surprised by the continuing resonance and relevance of Christianity, and they are joining in on conversations about faith.
Listeners will encounter Brierley’s discussion of cultural trends and concepts including:
- The meaning crisis
- Public intellectuals embracing faith
- Why the Christianity story is ready to return
And much more
In The Surprising Rebirth of Belief in God, Brierley outlines the dramatic fall of New Atheism and the birth of a new conversation on whether God makes sense of science, history, culture, and the search for meaning. People are returning to Christianity―but is the church prepared to welcome a new wave of faith?

Easy to listen to
I enjoyed his sense of humour, and his polite manner. Even though he had his agenda, he was not rude to the people he was writing about.

Great primer for the next decade of apologetics
Really enjoyable listen. Informative, but not interlectually exhausting, so you can take in a lot before taking a break.
I admit, I didn't learn too much in a sense, as I've watched this happen myself, but it was good to engage with a collective writing that addresses the change in how culture views spirituality, God, the Bible and Christianity.
