Coming to Faith Through Dawkins: 12 Essays on the Pathway from New Atheism to Christianity. Edited by Denis Alexander and Alister McGrath
Twelve professionals from five nations explain how Richard Dawkins became the stimulus for their journey of faith.
“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”.
“Lucid as well as exhilarating and wide-ranging.”
–Rupert Shortt, Von Hügel Institute, University of Cambridge, and author of God Is No Thing
“Many people, including nonbelievers like me, have found Dawkins’s strident atheism upsetting to the point of offensive. I would never have thought that–as Coming to Faith Through Dawkins shows in wonderful detail–for some, Dawkins’s rantings were the spur to Christian faith.”
–Michael Ruse, Professor of Philosophy Emeritus, University of Guelph, Ontario
