Unapologetic: Why, Despite Everything, Christianity Can Still Make Surprising Emotional Sense - Softcover

"Catnip for atheists, agnostics, believers, disbelievers and people who like to think and wonder."--Chicago Tribune

"Spufford exhibits his trademark brilliance, humor, and acumen, demolishing the intellectual emptiness of the New Atheism along the way. Richly rewarding to mind and heart, and a fine example of one of the era's best writers at full tilt. "--Library Journal

"Spufford is one of the most gifted English writers of his generation...Unapologetic captures the texture of today's life of faith, faith always ever-so-slightly but also ever-so-constantly eaten away at by uncertainty, by the possibility of a truly disenchanted world, a wholly material life."--Books & Culture

"Mr. Spufford is an amused and amusing observer of human beings, and it is a pleasure to be in his company."--Dwight Garner, The New York Times

"Francis Spufford is one of the cleverest and most thoughtful nonfiction writers in England....Unapologetic is exactly what those who've followed Spufford's career might have suspected it would be: an incredibly smart, challenging, and beautiful book, humming with ideas and arguments."--Nick Hornby

"A remarkable book, which is passionate, challenging, tumultuously articulate, and armed with anger to a degree unusual in works of Christian piety."--Sunday Times (London)

"The man writes like a dream."--The Guardian

"A subtle, witty, clever writer."--The Observer

"This is a wonderful, effortlessly brilliant book."--Evening Standard (London)

"The point...is to show those on the fence that belief need not mean the abandonment of intelligence, wit, emotional honesty. In this, Francis Spufford succeeds to an exceptional degree."--London Times Literary Supplement
