Synopsis

What if notorious atheist Christopher Hitchens, bestselling author of God Is Not Great, had a Christian brother? He does. Meet Peter Hitchens--British journalist, author, and former atheist--as he tells his powerful story for the first time in The Rage Against God. In The Rage Against God, Hitchens details his personal story of how he left the faith and dramatically returned. Like many of the Old Testament saints whose personal lives were intertwined with the life of their nation, so Peter's story is also the story of modern England and its spiritual decline. The path to a secular utopia, pursued by numerous modern tyrants, is truly paved with more violence than has been witnessed in any era in history.Peter invites you to witness firsthand accounts of atheistic societies, specifically in Communist Russia, where he lived in Moscow during the collapse of the Soviet Union. Peter brings his work as an international journalist to bear as he shows that the twentieth century--the world's bloodiest--entailed nothing short of atheism's own version of the Crusades and the Inquisition.The Rage Against God asks and answers the three failed arguments of atheism:Are conflicts fought in the name of religion really just conflicts about religion?Is it possible to determine what is right and what is wrong without God?Are atheist states not actually atheist?Join Hitchens as he provides hope for all believers whose friends or family members have left Christianity or who are enchanted by the arguments of the anti-religious intellects of our age.

Peter Hitchens is a British journalist, author, and broadcaster. He currently writes for the Mail on Sunday, where he is a columnist and occasional foreign correspondent, reporting most recently from Iran, North Korea, Burma, The Congo, and China. A former revolutionary, he attributes his return to faith largely to his experience of socialism in practice, which he witnessed during his many years reporting in Eastern Europe and his nearly three years as a resident correspondent in Moscow during the collapse of the Soviet Union. He lived and worked in the United States from 1993 to 1995. Hitchens lives in Oxford with his wife, Eve. They have three children.

Goodreads review by Rod on April 02, 2016

Thank you Peter for writing a book like this. I doubt it will open many peoples eyes to the danger of a society without the morality and love of Jesus. But maybe a few will stop and think for a moment. I think this book will be confusing for many people who lump all of religion as a goodness on human......more

Goodreads review by Kevin on July 05, 2011

Peter Hitchens, the brother of famed atheist polemicist Christopher Hitchens, tells the story of his personal journey to faith in the pages of The Rage Against God: How atheism led me to faith. This story is a fascinating and brilliantly written one, and well worth reading. That is not to say it is a......more

Goodreads review by Jesse on August 02, 2011

Peter Hitchens can write. His prose in this autobiographical journey from atheism to faith is at times elegant, precise, poignant, poetic, mystical and melancholy, and is almost universally exquisite. This book was like candy. Yes, "Anything worth doing is worth doing badly," but it's so refreshing......more

Goodreads review by Erik on April 25, 2022

Last year, I reviewed God is not Great, by outspoken atheist Christopher Hitchens. This is a book by his brother making the opposite case. Both of the Hitchens brothers are very gifted public speakers and writers, though they are on opposite sides of many issues. Christopher is the atheist, Peter is......more
