Richard Dawkins' Former Right Hand Man Finds Jesus

Reflection

Richard Dawkins built much of his public career on dismantling Christian belief. So when a man who worked closely alongside him publicly turns to Jesus, it is worth paying attention. Stories like this are happening more often than the cultural narrative admits, leading atheists, neuroscientists, philosophers and biologists quietly reaching the same conclusion: that the New Atheist account of reality does not actually hold up under its own weight.

Questions to sit with

• What would have to happen for you to seriously revisit your view of God?
• Why do you think so many former atheists describe coming to faith as 'reluctant'?
• Is your current worldview something you have tested, or something you inherited?
