THE SURPRISING REBIRTH OF BELIEF IN GOD

by Justin Brierley

Could we be witnessing a return of belief in our generation? Justin Brierley is convinced that in our time we are witnessing a growing wave of faith.

Famously described as the “long, withdrawing roar” of the “Sea of Faith,” the Christian narrative that shaped the West has been replaced by sweeping secularism. But is that the end of the story?

It was a conversation with agnostic journalist Douglas Murray that led Brierley to investigate whether a change was on the horizon. Speaking of the “Sea of Faith,” Murray remarked that tides come back in again and that a number of his intelligent friends had converted to Christianity in recent years. Brierley was seeing a similar trend among the secular thinkers he had interviewed. Jordan Peterson, Tom Holland, Dave Rubin, and many others have found themselves surprised by the continuing resonance and relevance of Christianity, and they are joining in on conversations about faith.

Readers will encounter Brierley’s discussion of cultural trends and concepts, including:

  • The meaning crisis

  • Public intellectuals embracing faith

  • Why the Christianity story is ready to return

  • And much more!

 

In The Surprising Rebirth of Belief in God, Brierley outlines the dramatic fall of New Atheism and the birth of a new conversation on whether God makes sense of science, history, culture, and the search for meaning. People are returning to Christianity―but is the church prepared to welcome a new wave of faith?

There’s a new conversation building. The tide is coming.

REVIEWS

"Atheism is about as satisfying as reading recipes to starving people. Justin Brierley brilliantly shows how the hunger for meaning and truth is leading intelligent people back to Christianity or to Christ for the first time. This engaging and well-reasoned book will not only encourage you, it will also equip you to show spiritually starved people where the real food is. Highly recommended!"

Co-author of  I Don't Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist

"Belief in God is back. Despite the claims of New Atheists, a surprising number of leading thinkers are taking the Christian faith seriously. Brierley tells the fascinating story of how the big questions have shifted from the existence of God to whether or not life can have meaning without God.

"This is a first-rate book: get it, read it, and give it to others."

— John Lennox

"Justin offers a sharply drawn, enticing picture of the way public discussion of Christian faith has swung round to the point where the once-fashionable atheism has itself begun to look suspiciously threadbare."

— N.T. Wright

NT Scholar, Pauline theologian and Anglican bishop

​​

"Justin Brierley has had a ringside seat for the past decade watching the great debates on religion and reports on them with learning, subtlety and grace."
