''Passionate, challenging, tumultuously articulate . . . Fascinating.'' John Carey, Sunday Times
''A wonderful, effortlessly brilliant book.'' Evening Standard
''A rare gem, a book that carries conviction by being honest all the way through.'' John Gray, Independent

Unapologetic is a book for those curious about how faith can possibly work in the twenty-first century.

But it isn''t an argument that Christianity is true - because how could anyone know that (or indeed its opposite)?

It''s an argument that Christianity is recognisable, 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 bits of our lives advertising agencies prefer to ignore.
