Alister McGrath left his teenage atheism for Christianity as a science student at Oxford, where he went on to earn a doctorate in molecular biophysics before turning to theology. Fluent in both worlds, he has become one of the most prominent writers arguing that the confident atheism of the 2000s overreached — most pointedly in reply to Richard Dawkins.
