Summary, Etc. "Consists of twelve essays written by twelve different authors from five different countries who all have one thing in common: they were once atheists or agnostics but then came to Christian faith through engaging with the thinking of the New Atheist Richard Dawkins. The authors include academics, journalists, a civil servant, a church pastor, an engineering manager, a counselor, a graphic designer, and others. Despite this great range of backgrounds and cultures, all are united in the fact that they were first enthusiasts for the claims and writing of the New Atheists, but when they looked closer became disillusioned, eventually turning instead to Christian faith, which they find intellectually more convincing. Those who will want to read this book include atheists, agnostics, Christians and those of other faiths - anyone whose mind is open enough to consider rational arguments for faith, coming from those who have themselves made the journey from anti-faith to faith in Christ. Readers will have their minds stretched to see how, on one hand, the intellectual case for atheism is far weaker than the New Atheists claim, and on the other hand just how very varied the pathways to Christian faith may be in the lives of people coming from such diverse backgrounds"-- Provided by publisher
