Did you ever think that the aggressive, deceptive, and philosophically and scientifically erroneous form of modern atheism, called “New Atheism” could be instrumental in bringing atheists to faith? The proponents of this cult (Dawkins, Harris, Coyne, Krauss, etc.) that denies not only God, but free will, the soul, human exceptionalism, and any shred of  purpose or meaning to anything, have apparently dealt a severe blow to the cause of Christ by their rhetoric. But it turns out that sometimes this stream of hostile negativity has had the opposite effect, that of making people think that these arguments for atheism are so weak and devoid of truth, that maybe God is actually real.

A new book titled Coming To Faith through Dawkins will be released by Kregel Publications at the end of August, this year. The book is edited by British scientist Denis Alexander and theologian  Alister McGrath It  includes twelve testimonies in chapters by an international variety of former atheists, whose reaction to the venomous rhetoric of  New Atheism was to consider and then accept Christianity. I am the author of one (the first)  of those chapters, as is my wife, Aniko Albert, who was raised in communist, atheistic Hungary, and m so is my friend Ashley Lande, an author who writes about her conversion to faith after being immersed in the psychodelic drug culture.

My chapter describes how The God Delusion and other books by the original New Atheists, actually helped to buttress my new found faith, rather than derail it. The absurdity of the scientific and philosophical arguments of these proponents of a pitiless, meaningless existence, left me both horrified at the distortions of reality in their arguments, and thankful that the Holy Spirit had saved me from such a hellish worldview.

The book is already listed on Amazon, and is available for pre-order.
