JUSTIN BRIERLEY | The Surprising Rebirth of Belief in God (Ep. 498)

In this episode, we welcome Justin Brierley back to the show. He is the former host of the Unbelievable? radio show and podcast on Premier Christian Radio in the UK and the author of Unbelievable? Why after ten years of talking with atheists, I’m still a Christian . In this interview, we discuss the ins and outs of his brand new book The Surprising Rebirth of Belief in God: Why New Atheism Grew Old and Secular Thinkers Are Considering Christianity Again , how one word in a pro-atheism advertising campaign in the UK showed the cracks in the foundation of New Atheism philosophy, the cowardice of Richard Dawkins when it comes to debating real Christian intellectuals, why the tide started to turn on the New Atheism movement, how wokeness began to cannibalize proponents of New Atheism, the importance of secular philosophers like Jordan Peterson and Douglas Murray taking the Bible seriously, how atheism has to steal from God when it discussed morality or justice, why young men have been attracted to the teachings of secular public figures over pastors, why we should “keep Christianity weird”, why he’s so optimistic about the future of Christianity in our world, and much more.
