Magnificent Obsession: Why Jesus Is Great
David Robertson, author of The Dawkins Letters, says that he was told by the leader of an atheist society: “Okay, I admit that you have destroyed my atheism, but what do you believe?” This book is his answer: an apology of faith in the face of atheism and a response to the shouts of “God is not Great” by the late Christopher Hitchens.
David Robertson, author of The Dawkins Letters and Awakening, is pastor of St Peter's Free Church of Scotland. Robertson is a trustee of the Solas Centre for Public Christianity and works to fulfill the Centre's mission to engage culture with the message of Christ.
