A former atheist, McGrath has a longstanding interest in the effective and faithful commendation of the Christian faith to secular culture, and has been a significant voice in the Christian response to the “New Atheism” of Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens. His best-known apologetic books include The Dawkins Delusion? (2007) and Why God Won’t Go Away (2011). He has also published many bestselling textbooks on Christian theology, including Christian Theology: An Introduction (5th ed., 2010) and The Christian Theology Reader (4th ed., 2011).
