Dear friends,

I hope you had a happy Christmas and are looking forward to New Year. I’m just popping up during your holiday break with a date you may want to put in your diary for 2024!

I’m delighted to announce that I will be in conversation with Tom Holland at a live evening event on Tue 5 March 2024 in central London.

Tom Holland is a best-selling historical author and co-host of the global no. 1 podcast ‘The Rest Is History’. I’ve been glad to host numerous conversations with Holland in recent years about the thesis of his book ‘Dominion’ on how the West has been shaped by the Christian revolution.

On this occasion, we will be talking about the thesis of my own book - that New Atheism has grown old, and that a new conversation on God and the value of faith is emerging among secular thinkers.

The event takes place on Tue 5 March, 7pm at Westminster Chapel, London SW1E 6BS. It’s being hosted by The London Institute For Contemporary Christianity and the conversation will be chaired by LICC’s Paul Woolley and Grace Fielding.

Tom Holland has played a significant part in the thesis of my book, and podcast The Surprising Rebirth Of Belief In God. I’m so glad that he and I will both be part of this event to look at whether the tide of the ‘Sea of Faith‘ could be turning in the West.

Signed copies of mine and Tom’s books will be available. I expect this to be a very popular event so make sure to book your place now!

Early Access Episode: Why Tom Holland changed his mind about Christ

While we’re in a Tom Holland-themed mood, I’m glad to say that you can now get early access to Episode 10 of the Surprising Rebirth of Belief in God. This documentary episode traces the influence of Tom Holland’s ‘Dominion’ thesis that has been challenging secular thinkers with the fact that they swim in Christian waters when it comes to the values and moral assumptions they hold to.

You can get early access right now (a full 2 weeks ahead of public broadcast!) when you become a Silver, Gold or Platinum supporter on Patreon, or support via Tax-deductible giving from the USA.
