God, Actually : Why God Probably Exists, Why Jesus was Probably Divine, and Why the ‘Rational’ Objections to Religion are Unconvincing

A fascinating and topical book in which the author harnesses his legal skills to analyse the arguments for and against the existence of God. God, Actually is a highly original and eclectic book about Christianity, covering a wide range of subjects. Williams doesn’t preach to the converted or attempt to browbeat sceptics. Instead, he persuades using rational argument drawn from non-religious sources: physics, chemistry and biology; politics, history and sociology; music, novels, poetry and film. In part the book is a counter to the recent bestsellers by atheists like Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens and Sam Harris, and shows that belief in Christianity can and should be based on logical deductions from known facts. It is not a matter of ignorant superstition or blind faith.
