C. E. M. Joad was a famous British philosopher and radio voice, and for most of his life a confident agnostic. In his final years he changed course and returned to Christian belief, explaining the reversal in a book whose title says it plainly: The Recovery of Belief. The problem of evil, which had once pushed him away, was part of what drew him back.
