Refuting critics such as Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and the \"new atheist\" crowd, Spufford, a former atheist and Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, argues that Christianity is recognizable, 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 grown-up dignity of Christian experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFans of C. S. Lewis, N. T.
