Still Small Voices: The Testimony of a Born Again Atheist by Carolyn Hyppolite
Requirements: ePUB reader, 278 KB
Overview: There is growing dissatisfaction with traditional Christianity, especially among millennials, who are increasingly discovering that the Bible and the Church offers inadequate answers to individual and collective challenges. A year ago, Carolyn Hyppolite was organizing street evangelism groups for her Church and working on a Master’s Thesis on Old Testament. It was in the midst of a life packed with service to the Lord that she became increasingly aware of her emotional and intellectual dissatisfaction with the faith that she professed.
Still Small Voices is a frank, personal account of a young woman’s struggle to have a personal relationship with Jesus and the freedom she discovered when she gave up on God. This book is a mixture of personal testimony, analysis and arguments. In her reflection, she recounts stories of particular moments during her eight year experience as a Christian when she found herself hearing another “still small voice,” the voice of reason, which constantly whispered that something about the Biblical worldview does not add up. Throughout the book, she records her efforts to ignore and suppress that voice and how ultimately, she had to relent.
In addition, Carolyn regularly takes off the gloves for some sharp and witty atheist apologia. In the chapter, “the Cross of Christ,” she argues that Christ’s sacrifice on the cross—a minor inconvenience for an eternal being—is insufficient to compel humanity to sacrifice their very finite life on Earth in service to him; assuming the unlikely possibility that Christ actually did die for our sins, it was the least he could do.
Believers, questioners, and rabid atheists alike will find this a moving and challenging exploration through the world of faith and reason.
