About this product

Product Information

2016 Winner of the Gospel Coalition Book Awards "If everyone in the United States had the same qualities of loyalty and care and concern for others that Larry Taunton had, we'd be living in a much better society than we do." Christopher Hitchens At the time of his death, Christopher Hitchens was the most notorious atheist in the world. And yet, all was not as it seemed. "Nobody is not a divided self, of course," he once told an interviewer, "but I think it's rather strong in my case." Hitchens was a man of many contradictions: a Marxist in youth who longed for acceptance among the social elites; a peacenik who revered the military; a champion of the Left who was nonetheless pro-life, pro-war-on-terror, and after 9/11 something of a neocon; and while he railed against God on stage, he maintained meaningful--though largely hidden from public view--friendships with evangelical Christians like Francis Collins, Douglas Wilson, and the author Larry Alex Taunton. In The Faith of Christopher Hitchens , Taunton offers a very personal perspective of one of our most interesting and most misunderstood public figures. Writing with genuine compassion and without compromise, Taunton traces Hitchens's spiritual and intellectual development from his decision as a teenager to reject belief in God to his rise to prominence as one of the so-called "Four Horsemen" of the New Atheism. While Hitchens was, in the minds of many Christians, Public Enemy Number One, away from the lights and the cameras a warm friendship flourished between Hitchens and the author; a friendship that culminated in not one, but two lengthy road trips where, after Hitchens's diagnosis of esophageal cancer, they studied the Bible together. The Faith of Christopher Hitchens gives us a candid glimpse into the inner life of this intriguing, sometimes maddening, and unexpectedly vulnerable man. "This book should be read by every atheist and theist passionate about the truth." --Michael Shermer, publisher, Skeptic magazine

I was satisfied with my purchase. This seller doesn’t include full descriptions, they only use pictures. The picture in this case was of a box. Be sure to ask questions about the item BEFORE you’ve paid. When I had a question that’s what they told me (& that they do hundreds of transactions a day). As it turned out, I was satisfied with my purchase, but had no idea exactly how many CDs I was getting until I opened the package.

TAUNTON'S BETRAYAL OF FRIENDSHIP AS A MISSIONARY EXERCISE
Seldom do I read a book that angers me. Books that support my own understanding of a subject I read with a critical eye, searching for flaws in the logic that I might have fallen for, and which knowing, might change my thinking. Those that I read that would challenge my view I read with a clear eye, searching for evidence that may be right and that likewise, I might glean new valid new information which would lead to another change of mind. It is rare that anger arises in me at this checking exercise. I have read most of the works of the late Christopher Hitchens, once the world's most persuasive and persistent atheist, because his logic was nearly infallible, and his rhetoric is fashioned of gold.

Books that support my own understanding of a subject I read with a critical eye, searching for flaws in the logic that I might have fallen for, and which knowing, might change my thinking. Those that I read that would challenge my view I read with a clear eye, searching for evidence that may be right and that likewise, I might glean new valid new information which would lead to another change of mind. It is rare that anger arises in me at this checking exercise. I have read most of the works of the late Christopher Hitchens, once the world's most persuasive and persistent atheist, because his logic was nearly infallible, and his rhetoric is fashioned of gold. Having never met the man, I was struck with sadness, as if he were one of my own family, when it was announced that he was suffering from incurable esophageal cancer. Some Christians celebrated that this enemy of religion, whose dulcet tones and steely logic had for decades, revealed organized religion as a scam, was suffering the wrath of god by having his larynx rot away. Christians prayed that either he would die soon or that he would be cured by the power of god so he could be converted to Christianity. Hitchen, having no faith in prayer, thanked those who wished him well with their prayers, but wished they would use their energies for more effective activities. A fellow atheist philosopher, Daniel Dennett, when it had a heart attack, answered those who prayed for him with the quick quip: "Did you also sacrifice a goat in my behalf?" When Darwin died in 1882, it was known that he remained an atheist to his dying breath. In 1915, Elizabeth Cotton claimed falsely that he had converted to Christianity on his deathbed. His children, who were there at the time of his demise, countered that claim. Many other freethinkers were postumously maligned in this way over the years. Would some Christian rascal rise to claim a similar lie for Christopher Hitchens? I picked up "The Faith of Christopher Hitchens" by Larry Alex Taunton, to see what his claim was. I read all 200 pages of his claim that Hitchen was "negotiating with god" privately as the disease slowing took his life. Using suppositions he picked up on various trips to debates together, Taunton claims to have a special insight into Christopher's state of mind, and the underlying meaning of his every word in those last days of his life. Without the thinnest proof, he tries to twist Hitchen's friendship with him to mean he was contemplating conversion to Christianity, even when he was stating the exact opposite in public discourse. This is a shameful betraying of personally tolerant banter on the road to Billings and other places for competitive debate. Taunton admits that Hitchens studied his opponent’s line of logic and thinking, in order to best them by dissecting flaws in argument. But then he turns in an attempt to convince us that their personal discussions about the biblical book of John were intriguing and curious studies with a desire to believe in Christianity for Hitchens. Taunton is a traitor to friendship, and, like the traitor he is, waited five years to publish his misleading polemic claim. Like Elizabeth Cotton, he has made his thesis out of whole cloth, but unlike Cotton, he as been smarmy and creepy about it, admitting that Hitchen's statements are damning to his thesis, but claiming they are full of "hints" of conversion. This is a despicable argument that Hitchens, if he could, would decry mightily. My anger is kindled.

Shameful and untrue
The late Christopher Hitchens can be called a lot of things. A theist? I don't think so. The author's failed claim that Hitch had question marks about religion all his life... is laughable. Why didn't he write this book while Hitchens was still alive? Aha. He would have been Hitchslapped by "his friend" a couple times over. Even if the book were for free, I wouldn't take it. Don't even bother. The late Christopher Hitchens can be called a lot of things. A theist? I don't think so.
