As a so called "non-believer" And "Atheist" (the latter being commonly used as derogatory by many christians), I find particular significance when having been convinced by some Christian friends to read this book. It is, as they say, a book about God in everyday life...
Interestingly, it is a recount of Lee Strobel's search into disproving Christ, as an "atheist" (Damn they sure do love that word) and yet somehow manages to be swayed the other way.
Lee Strobel is a Yale Law School Graduate, and a former reporter for the Chicago Tribune. So, i'm expecting a fairly intelligent examination of the religion and it's tenets and values.
So, the question being... Will i yet turn? During my own search for "Him", i could not find "Him", and yet i was looking on a philosophical and intellectual level.
Far be it for me to criticise, but the image of Christians at the foremost of my mind is that of below-average-IQ-yokel-Americans, residing, ultimately in the "bible belt". So, it should be very interesting to properly examine the evidence, as it were, on an intellectual level.
So, here's to the first chapter - tomorrow.
