This somewhat counterintuitive offering from a former atheist who is now a professor of historical theology at Oxford University and principal of Wycliffe Hall, Oxford. Or, "now one of Christianity's foremost scholars," as the publishers would have it, exposing "the flaws at the heart of atheism," and "demonstrating why atheism cannot provide the moral and intellectual guidance essential for coping with the complexities of modern life." 306 pp. including index.
