Are Intellect and Faith Diametrically Opposed?
Holly Ordway should never have become a Christian. A young, white, highly educated atheist and professor of English, she represents the kind of person that many observers of religion say cannot be converted anymore—a demographic supposedly beyond the reach of the church in postmodern America. Yet through a series of conversations with a wise and patient friend, Ordway not only became convinced of God’s existence, but also embraced Jesus as her Savior and Lord.
In this memoir of her conversion, Ordway turns her analytical mind toward the path that leads from darkness to light—from death to life. Simultaneously encouraging and bracing, she offers a bold testimony to the ongoing power of the Gospel—a Gospel that can humble and transform even self-assured, accomplished, and secular-minded young professionals like herself.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
DR. HOLLY ORDWAY (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, University of Massachusetts Amherst), once hostile to Christianity, was finally challenged to take up the question of what is actually true: atheism or theism. Her desire for truth took her on an intellectual and emotional journey from atheism to faith in Christ as her Lord and Savior. She is currently a professor at a community college, a lay reader and the parish librarian at her church, and a competitive sabre fencer.
