Is religious faith just a personal lifestyle choice?
Does Christianity have anything to say to 21st-century people and issues?
Is it a force for good in the world, or for harm?
The Centre for Public Christianity , founded in Sydney in 2007, thinks there's still a conversation to be had about faith - many conversations, in fact - and this volume brings together a few of the most stimulating, urgent, or just delightful ones they've had in the media over the years.
These include conversations with atheists, agnostics, and believers; with philosophers, economists, scientists, artists, activists, and ordinary people with far from ordinary stories.
They cover everything from religious violence, JFK, refugee policy, ecological ethics, and the scandal of child abuse in the church to Halloween, modern slavery, the kingdom of God, art and beauty, neuroscience, sex, missionaries, economics, and the good life.
Whether you're a believer or a sceptic - whether you're asking "What is Christianity all about?" or "What good has it ever done?" - 10 Tips for Atheists invites you to join one of the defining conversations of our time.
