Coming to Faith Through Dawkins: 12 Essays on the Pathway from New Atheism to Christianity

Denis Alexander (Author) & Alister McGrath (Author)

The book "Coming to Faith Through Dawkins," edited by Denis Alexander and Alister McGrath, explores the surprising journeys of twelve individuals who converted to Christianity.

Despite coming from diverse backgrounds and countries, these people share a common thread: they were initially drawn to the ideas of Richard Dawkins and other prominent new atheists.

However, upon closer examination, they found the arguments and conclusions of Dawkins lacking. This critical engagement with atheism led them to explore religious faith with greater objectivity.

The book challenges the notion that Christianity and science are inherently opposed. The contributors argue that a deep examination of …

Prof Lennox focuses on the areas of evolutionary theory, the origins of life …

Gunning for God: Why the New Atheists are missing the target

John C Lennox (Author)

Atheism is on the march in the western world, and its enemy is God. Religion, the "New Atheists" claim, "is dangerous", it "kills" or "poisons everything". And if religion is the problem with the world, their answer is simple: get rid of it. But are things really so straightforward? Tackling the likes of Richard Dawkins, Stephen Hawking, Christopher Hitchens, and Daniel Dennett head on, John Lennox highlights the fallacies in the their approach, arguing that their irrational and unscientific methodology leaves them guilty of the same obstinate foolishness of which they accuse dogmatic religious folks. Erudite and wide-ranging, Gunning for … Access details page

I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist

Norman Geisler (Author) & Frank Turek (Author) & David Limbaugh (Foreword)

In "I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist," Frank Turek argues that atheism requires more faith than belief in God. He challenges the idea that the universe arose by chance and suggests scientific principles like the Laws of Thermodynamics point to a purposeful design.

The book explores philosophical concepts like objective morality and the nature of truth. Turek contends that these concepts necessitate a source beyond the material world, which atheism cannot provide. He also examines the problem of evil, arguing that if God exists, evil must serve a greater purpose.

Turek dedicates sections to the reliability of …

Navigating Genesis: A Scientist's Journey through Genesis 1-11

Hugh Ross (Author)

Is constructive integration of Genesis 1-11 with the current scientific knowledge possible? Everyone knows the Bible teaches scientific nonsense that s the commonly held misconception. When pushed for examples, skeptics point to the early part of Genesis, with stories of creation, the flood, and 900-year life spans as proof. Examining recent scientific discoveries, astronomer and pastor Dr. Hugh Ross explores the opening chapters in Genesis and shows how they hold some of the strongest scientific evidence for the Bible s supernatural accuracy. Navigating Genesis expands upon Ross earlier book The Genesis Question (1998), integrating the message of both the Bible … Access details page

Stealing from God: Why Atheists Need God to Make Their Case

Frank Turek (Author)

In "Stealing from God," author Frank Turek argues that atheism unknowingly relies on concepts inherent to theism. He calls this phenomenon "C.R.I.M.E.S.," referring to Causality, Reason, Information and Intentionality, Morality, Evil, and Science.

Turek contends that atheists borrow the idea of causality, the principle that everything has a cause, to explain the universe's origin. He argues that without a God as the ultimate cause, atheism struggles to explain existence.

Similarly, Turek claims that reason and logic, tools atheists use to critique religion, are themselves God-given concepts. He posits that objective truth, a prerequisite for reason, necessitates a moral lawgiver like …

The Case for Miracles

Lee Strobel (Author)

Lee Strobel, a former atheist and legal journalist, embarks on a quest to investigate the validity of miracles in his book "The Case for Miracles." He begins by interviewing Dr. Michael Shermer, a well-known skeptic, who presents arguments against the existence of miracles, often citing the improbability of defying natural laws. This challenge serves as the foundation for Strobel's exploration.

Strobel then delves into personal accounts of miraculous events, including healings and interventions seemingly defying scientific explanation. He also engages with experts like Dr. Gary Habermas, a philosopher of religion, and Dr. Richard Dawkins, a renowned evolutionary biologist, who offer …

The Dawkins Delusion?: Atheist Fundamentalism and the Denial of the Divine

Alister McGrath (Author)

World-renowned scientist Richard Dawkins writes in The God Delusion: "If this book works as I intend, religious readers who open it will be atheists when they put it down." The volume has received wide coverage, fueled much passionate debate and caused not a little confusion.

Alister McGrath, along with his wife Joanna, are ideal to evaluate Dawkins's ideas. Once an atheist himself, he gained a doctorate in molecular biophysics before going on to become a leading Christian theologian. He wonders how two people, who have reflected at length on substantially the same world, could possibly have come to such different …

The Surprising Rebirth of Belief in God: Why New Atheism Grew Old and Secular Thinkers Are Considering Christianity Again

Justin Brierley (Author)

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 …

One of the greatest myths regarding God and science is that science has somehow disproven God. The exact opposite is actually closer to the truth. If science has disproven anything, it has disproven atheism. How can that be? The Great Dr. John Lennox, Professor at Oxford University, joins Frank to offer answers by discussing his new book Cosmic Chemistry. They address questions such as:

What can science explain and what are its limits— what can’t it explain?
What are new developments in science that are pointing more toward intelligence as a cause?
