About this listen

Could We Be Witnessing a Return of Belief in Our Generation?

Justin Brierley is convinced that in our time we are witnessing a growing wave of faith.

Famously described as the “long, withdrawing roar” of the “Sea of Faith,” the Christian narrative that shaped the West has been replaced by sweeping secularism. But is that the end of the story?

It was a conversation with agnostic journalist Douglas Murray that led Brierley to investigate whether a change was on the horizon. Speaking of the “Sea of Faith,” Murray remarked that tides come back in again and that a number of his intelligent friends had converted to Christianity in recent years. Brierley was seeing a similar trend among the secular thinkers he had interviewed. Jordan Peterson, Tom Holland, Dave Rubin, and many others have found themselves surprised by the continuing resonance and relevance of Christianity, and they are joining in on conversations about faith.

Listeners will encounter Brierley’s discussion of cultural trends and concepts including:

  • The meaning crisis
  • Public intellectuals embracing faith
  • Why the Christianity story is ready to return

And much more

In The Surprising Rebirth of Belief in God, Brierley outlines the dramatic fall of New Atheism and the birth of a new conversation on whether God makes sense of science, history, culture, and the search for meaning. People are returning to Christianity―but is the church prepared to welcome a new wave of faith?

Great survey of the current landscape

Brierley's position as the former host of Unbelievable makes him uniquely qualified for this survey of the faith landscape. With great production value, I warmly recommend.

A summation of the last 10 years

Justin has been in this space a long time and has seen firsthand how the conversations around God and belief have changed radically. no longer are we arguing about "the spaghetti Monster" nonsense of yesterday.

he chronicles this change ably, assisted by his years of interviews with figures who've changed their minds ever so slowly as the world around them has shifted.

Poignant for me is how it mirrors much of my own change of heart. from atheist to agnostic to being recieved into the Catholic Church.

if someone asks you to explain the shift away from new atheism to the soup we now boil in, this is the book to recommend.

Additionally, the author himself reads this book, and does so extremely well, his years of presenting experience shine through.
