How Oxford and Peter Singer drove me from atheism to Jesus

48. I share that criticism of that book.

I read it, many years ago. I found it to be illogical in a circular reasoning sort of way. After reading it, I was not more informed, actually. Nor was I in any way convinced that my journey toward atheism was misdirected.

Apologetics are apologetics, regardless of the literary skills of the apologist. Once one understands the tautological bases for apologetics, it becomes impossible to take them seriously any longer.

C. S. Lewis is rather a popular author. It was probably a bad thing that I read "Mere Christianity" as the first book by that author. That prevented me from reading his other works. I read quickly and voraciously, but there are still far more books available than I can possibly read. If my first book by an author is not at least entertaining, I'm unlikely to pick another one by the same author. "Mere Christianity" was such a book by C. S. Lewis. I never read another.
