Description

Christianity is recognisable, drawing on the deep and deeply ordinary vocabulary of human feeling. In this defence of Christian belief, Francis Spufford offers a ruthlessly realistic account of life's everyday moments that advertise faith to those who believe in it. Spufford takes on the atheist case, arguing that its approach can be literalistic, anti-imaginative, and intolerant. He writes with fresh perspective, unhampered by niceness, making this book a riposte to the smug emissaries of New Atheism. For believers fed up with being patronised, non-believers curious about faith in the 21st century, and anyone who feels something is wrong with the way the atheist case is now made, Spufford's Unapologetic offers a provocative and thought-provoking read.
