SPUFFORD, FRANCIS
Unapologetic: Why, Despite Everything, Christianity Can Still Make Surprising Emotional Sense
NY: Harperone, 2013. 0062300458. First Edition. First Printing. Hard Cover. ISBN: 0062300458. Francis Spufford's Unapologetic is a wonderfully pugnacious defense of Christianity. Refuting critics such as Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and the "new atheist" crowd, Spufford, a former atheist and Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, argues 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. Fans of C. S. Lewis, N. T. Wright, Marilynne Robinson, Mary Karr, Diana Butler Bass, Rob Bell, and James Martin will appreciate Spufford's crisp, lively, and abashedly defiant thesis. Unapologetic 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 volume is in perfect, pristine condition, unmarked, unread, tight, square, and clean. The unclipped dust jacket has one closed tear at the top front fore-edge, else fine. AS NEW/GOOD.. 8vo 8" - 9" tall. xi, 240 pp. As New in Good dust jacket .
