This Christmas, why not gift somebody with a signed copy of my latest book The Surprising Rebirth of Belief in God: Why New Atheism Grew Old and Secular Thinkers are Considering Christianity Again!

In the book, I outline 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? There’s a new conversation building. The tide is coming.

You can order a signed copy from my website! Be sure to get your order in before December 16th to make sure it arrives by Christmas!

How Richard Dawkins Led Atheists TO FAITH! - Prof Alister McGrath

Recently released on my YouTube channel! Despite New Atheism's huge anti-religious influence, Professor Alister McGrath has seen increasing numbers of Christian converts say that Richard Dawkins and his colleagues, ironically, played a significant role in bringing them to faith! McGrath explores this phenomenon with me, as well as why the New Atheism movement began and ultimately couldn't sustain itself.

This interview is dedicated to the memory of Prof. Michael Ruse (1940 - 2024).

Historian: NEW ATHEISTS Made Me CHRISTIAN - Dr Sarah Irving-Stonebraker

A worthy “part two” to my interview with Alister McGrath! Historian Sarah Irving-Stonebraker thought she'd achieved the life of a happy and intellectually fulfilled atheist at the start of her academic career, until she encountered the ideas of New Atheists Peter Singer and Richard Dawkins. This led her to question her assumptions and, ultimately, convert to Christian faith! She tells her story and shares her insights, as an Historian, on how the Christian worldview gave us the foundations of Western ethics and science.
