Peter Phua, Writing for CFI About My Magnum Opus

You've got to admit that had someone written such a glowing review of your book you'd be popping your buttons too--to hell with humility, that's a Christian virtue ;-). See below:

One of my favourite new authors is a man by the name of John Loftus. A former evangelical Christian, Loftus became intimately familiar with the best apologetic arguments in favour of Christianity, and ultimately rejected them. He's written an excellent book, entitled "Why I Became an Atheist," which outlines a comprehensive series of arguments - both philosophical and historical - against the truth claims made by the Christian religion. I recently finished reading it, and simply cannot recommend it enough. I've read a fair amount of the popular apologetic literature out there (i.e Reasonable Faith by William Lane Craig, The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel, etc.), and this book simply demolished many of the historical claims Christians have made.

Loftus shows great breadth in the topics he covers, and he discusses the important issues at hand with an appropriate degree of depth, succinctly addressing the best replies to his arguments. The problem of evil is dealt with particularly well. Loftus does not straw-man his opponent's arguments, rather, he summarizes them in their strongest form and takes them head on. It's a book I highly recommend for current (and former) Christians who seek to familiarize themselves with an excellent contemporary summary of the strongest criticisms against the Christian faith....
