Synopsis

In this wide-ranging, provocative defence of Christianity, former lawyer Roy Williams contends that belief should be based on logical deductions from known facts. Using a wealth of examples drawn from science, politics, history, sociology and the arts, he tackles the biggest questions by appealing to evidence and reason. Part careful and ecumenical apologia, part testament to Williams' personal journey towards faith,God, Actually will appeal to sceptics and practising Christians alike.

About this title

About the Author:

Roy Williams won the Sydney University Medal in law in 1985, and practised as a litigator for almost 20 years at one of Australia's oldest and most eminent legal firms. He now writes full-time. A sceptic for most of his life, he came to faith in his midthirties via parenthood, prodigious reading and a life-changing illness. He lives in Sydney, Australia, with his wife and two daughters.

Review:

"A must read for skeptics. Roy Williams brings a lawyer’s careful attention to evidence and strength of inference to life’s (and death’s) most important questions. He respectfully, but effectively, cross-examines the case against Christianity as propounded by its recent atheist advocates. Like C.S. Lewis and other authors who came to faith late in life, Roy Williams understands the issues that trouble atheists and agnostics and gives thoughtful, convincing responses. He takes on the issues that serve as roadblocks to many modern skeptics, from creation and evolution to the religious right."  —Robert F. Cochran, author, Faith and Law
