About this product
Product Information
But it isn't an argument that Christianity is true - because how could anyone know that (or indeed its opposite)? It's an argument that Christianity is recognisable, 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 bits of our lives advertising agencies prefer to ignore. It's a book for believers who are fed up with being patronised, 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. Fresh, provoking and unhampered by niceness, this is the long-awaited riposte to the smug emissaries of New Atheism.Product Identifiers

Protesteth too much
The first book by Francis Spufford that I read was his first novel, Golden Hill, and I have recently read his second, Light Perpetual. I rate him very highly as a writer, and so I looked up his earlier non-fiction works, and this was the first one I’ve tried. As in the novels, at times he writes with an admirable and enviable fluency and transparency about what it is to be human. But I think the gesture-bet of the title is misleading. There are places here, some quite long contexts, where he is writing very well about what it is to be alive in the C21st. But there is no getting away from the fact that for long stretches this IS an Apologia of really quite a traditional kind, albeit in non-traditional terms and language.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
