And yet, all was not as it seemed. âNobody is not a divided self, of course,â he once told an interviewer, âbut I think it{u2019}s rather strong in my case.â 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{u2014}though largely hidden from public view{u2014}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{u2019}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 âFour Horsemenâ 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{u2019}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. 600 10 $a Hitchens, Christopher $x Religion. 600 10 $a Taunton, Larry $x Religion. 650 0 $a Christianity and atheism. 941 $a 10 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20240702022307.0 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417013638.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20230629013018.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204084346.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110070249.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20160716010240.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20160628011640.0 952 $l WSPF215 $d 20160607011248.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20160604011339.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20160514010044.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=246A38C6199911E68C2EA67CDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
