Description

"With unrelenting passion and honesty... this book successfully... [makes] the case for the intelligibility and dignity of Christian faith" (Booklist).

"Francis Spufford is one of the cleverest and most thoughtful nonfiction writers in England... Unapologetic is... an incredibly smart, challenging, and beautiful book, humming with ideas and arguments." -- Nick Hornby

First published in the United Kingdom to great acclaim, Unapologetic is a wonderfully pugnacious defense of Christianity. But it isn't an argument that Christianity is true -- because how could anyone know that (or indeed its opposite)? It's an argument that Christianity is recognizable, drawing on the deep and deeply ordinary vocabulary of human feeling, satisfying those who believe in it by offering a ruthlessly realistic account of the grown-up dignity of Christian experience.

Unhampered by niceness, this is a book for believers who are fed up with being patronized, for non-believers curious about how faith can possibly work in the twenty-first century, and for anyone who feels there is something indefinably wrong, literalistic, anti-imaginative, and intolerant about the way the atheist case is now being made.

"The point... is to show those on the fence that belief need not mean the abandonment of intelligence, wit, emotional honesty. In this, Francis Spufford succeeds to an exceptional degree." -- London Times Literary Supplement

"Catnip for atheists, agnostics, believers, disbelievers and people who like to think and wonder." -- Chicago Tribune

"[A] rhetorical tour de force." -- Publishers Weekly
