2016 Winner of the Gospel Coalition Book Awards A friend of the
late Christopher Hitchens offers insight about the promise of faith
and the dangers of pride in this one-of-a-kind look into the last
days of the world's most famous atheist--now in paper back. "If
everyone in the United States had the same qualities of loyalty and
care and concern for others that Larry Taunton had, we'd be living
in a much better society than we do." ~ Christopher Hitchens At the
time of his death, Christopher Hitchens was the most notorious
atheist in the world. And yet, all was not as it seemed. "Nobody is
not a divided self, of course," he once told an interviewer, "but I
think it's rather strong in my case." Hitchens was a man of many
contradictions: a Marxist in youth who longed for acceptance among
the social elites; a peacenik who revered the military; a champion
of the Left who was nonetheless pro-life, pro-war-on-terror, and
after 9/11 something of a neocon; and while he railed against God
on stage, he maintained meaningful-though largely hidden from
public view-friendships with evangelical Christians like Francis
Collins, Douglas Wilson, and the author Larry Alex Taunton. In The
Faith of Christopher Hitchens, Taunton offers a very personal
perspective of one of our most interesting and most misunderstood
public figures. Writing with genuine compassion and without
compromise, Taunton traces Hitchens's spiritual and intellectual
development from his decision as a teenager to reject belief in God
to his rise to prominence as one of the so-called "Four Horsemen"
of the New Atheism. While Hitchens was, in the minds of many
Christians, Public Enemy Number One, away from the lights and the
cameras a warm friendship flourished between Hitchens and the
author; a friendship that culminated in not one, but two lengthy
road trips where, after Hitchens's diagnosis of esophageal cancer,
they studied the Bible together. The Faith of Christopher Hitchens
gives us a candid glimpse into the inner life of this intriguing,
sometimes maddening, and unexpectedly vulnerable man. "This book
should be read by every atheist and theist passionate about the
truth." --Michael Shermer, publisher, Skeptic magazine
