The key to the book is a set of interviews with people who fall
broadly into the Christian Atheist category; some are more agnostic
and less sceptical than others, but what they have in common is the
rejection of traditional belief in God, counterbalanced by an
admiration for the aesthetic genius of Christianity (leading to a
sense of deeper value), the Christian moral compass, and in some
cases the community aspect of Christian life. As one of his
interviewees points out, you can?t have Christian atheism without
mainstream, traditional Christianity, so Brian Mountford sets their
comments within a broader discussion of the issues: God,
aesthetics, orthodoxy, doubt and belief, ethics and communal
values. His purpose is threefold: to validate and affirm the
Christian atheist position within the broad spectrum of
Christianity to say to the Church, you ignore this phenomenon at
your peril to show that the distinction between atheist and
religious adherent is rarely black and white, and that the ground
between the two is a fertile source of meaning and value
