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 an audiobook for believers who are fed up with being patronized, for non-believers curious about how faith can possibly work in the 21st 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.

Witty, sarcastic, down right hysterical, yet at the same time beautifully and tenderly deep. I will listen to this book over and over again. What a great book!

It’s heavy, but it manages to keep a sense of humor about it. I’m so glad I listened to this.

My favorite chapter is 5. The retelling of the story of Jesus in modern language with all the insight and theological jargon pared down for modern ears.

Reckless love is the key. Belief without proof and complete understanding. Hope in the face of bullshit. That is Christianity.

well said and well read
