🌟 Unbelievable? 🌟
Prepare for a captivating journey through history as Unbelievable? delves deep into the question: "Did New Atheism Fail?" Two intellectual titans, Alister McGrath, one of the world's foremost theologians, and Alex O’Connor, the Oxford-educated philosopher and celebrated YouTuber, engage in a thought-provoking debate that transcends time.
📚 Exploring "Coming to Faith Through Dawkins" 📚
This discussion is ignited by the release of the groundbreaking book "Coming to Faith Through Dawkins," edited by Denis Alexander and Alister McGrath, hitting shelves on August 29, 2023. In its pages, the world's sharpest minds from Australia, South Africa, Egypt, the USA, and the UK come together to share a remarkable commonality: Richard Dawkins and the New Atheists played a pivotal role in their conversion to Christianity.
🌎 A Global Perspective on Faith and Reason 🌍
Despite diverse backgrounds and cultural influences, these individuals once ardently championed the ideas of the New Atheists, only to become disillusioned by Dawkins' arguments and conclusions. Their journeys led them to scrutinise religious faith with newfound objectivity, revealing that the fallacies Dawkins warned of simply do not exist.
🧠 Meet the Debaters: 🧠
Alister McGrath: A former atheist turned theologian, McGrath's journey to Christianity began during his studies in the natural sciences at Oxford University. With a storied career that includes roles such as Professor of Historical Theology at Oxford and President of the Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics, McGrath is renowned for his intellectual prowess. His internationally acclaimed textbook, "Christian Theology: An Introduction," translated into twenty languages, is just one testament to his impact. Stay tuned for his upcoming release, "Christian Apologetics: An Introduction."
Alex O’Connor: As a YouTuber and host of the Within Reason Podcast, O’Connor's mission is to make philosophy accessible to all. A graduate of philosophy and theology from St. John’s College, Oxford University, he has fearlessly defended his philosophical convictions against experts worldwide. His online content has garnered over seventy million views, and he's a sought-after international public speaker and debater.
