When sceptics convert: 3 former atheists walking the path of CS Lewis.
Ahead of Unbelievable? the
Conference 2017 Justin Brierley
traces the stories of three women whose intellectual journey led to their
conversion from atheism to Christianity
When Oxford academic CS Lewis wrote about his adult conversion from
atheism to Christianity in Surprised by Joy (HarperCollins) in 1955 it became an
apologetics classic, one still read by Christians and seekers to this
day.
His story included the realisation that his belief in justice and
morality required a transcendent moral lawgiver and that Jesus’ claim to be the
Son of God only made sense if it was true.
But there are many modern-day converts whose journeys echo Lewis’ own
search for truth. Christians can learn much from what brought others to faith.
These are three stories of how morality, beauty and love led three sceptics to
the person of Christ. Premier Christianity.
