UNAPOLOGETIC: WHY, DESPITE EVERYTHING, CHRISTIANITY CAN STILL MAKE SURPRISING EMOTIONAL SENSE
Book ID/图书代码: 04560012B56463
English Summary/英文概要: Fresh, provoking and unhampered by niceness, this is the long-awaited riposte to the smug emissaries of New Atheism.
Unapologetic is a brief, witty, personal, sharp-tongued, foul-mouthed defence of Christian belief, taking on Dawkins’ The God Delusion or Christopher Hitchens’ God is Not Great.
This is not 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. It’s a book for believers who are fed up with being a patronised minority, for non-believers genuinely curious about faith or for anyone who feels there is something indefinably wrong, literalistic, anti-imaginative and intolerant about the way the atheist case is now being made.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 新鲜,激怒,不讲究,这是人们对沾沾自喜的新无神论的使者期待已久的回击。
不愿道歉是对基督教信仰的一钟简短的、机智的、私人的,尖酸的,恶口的防御,道金斯的《上帝错觉》或克里斯托弗希钦斯的《上帝并不伟大》。这不是有关基督教是真理的一个论据,——因为怎么会有人知道(或者事实上与其相反)? 这是一个有力论据,即基督教是家喻户晓,使用深层次的普通词汇描述人类的感觉,通过对生活中那些冷酷的事实的描述,使那些相信基督教的人得到满足,而这种描述往往被广告商们忽略。这是一本是写给那些受够了被当做一个被保护的少民族的信徒的书,写给那些真正想了解信仰的无信徒们,同时写给每个感觉无神论者目前的情况存在某种不确定的错误,过于拘泥于字面的意思,反对虚构,狭隘的方式。(LNL)

对本书的赞美:
“热情的,富有挑战的,惊人地阐述,带着某种基督教虔诚的作品中不寻常的愤怒。…强烈的想法,热心的劝告。“星期日泰晤士报
“这不是一本关于宗教理论的书:它是一个宗教经验的记录。就像我们一样,他不知道是否有一个神存在。他的书本身就是一种大胆的行为。来自前线的一个古老而激烈的战争的消息。“卫报
“一个清新的回应凸显了当代无神论者最引人注目的特点——对实际人类的不能征服的无知。通篇的真诚表述使其很有说服力的。“独立主义者
“这是一个极好的,毫不费脑力的书。我能想到的好的基督教辩论家只有几个:特里•伊格尔顿,马克思主义文学评论家,是其中一个,约翰•沃特斯,爱尔兰的记者,是另一个。现在我们已经有了弗朗西斯Spufford。感谢上帝。”标准晚报
