Renowned Atheist Turned Theist

A couple years ago many in the Christian world were shocked to learn that famed atheist and vociferous opponent of Christianity for some five decades, Anthony Flew, had become a theist.

Thanks to the Stand To Reason blog, I learned that Lee Strobel conducted this interview with him about what caused him to change his deeply held anti-religious view.

As I wrote in previous posts about steps toward salvation in evangelism, so when I first heard of this a couple years ago I thought this was a huge success even though being a theist does not save. The gospel message assumes a lot of things, one of them being the existence of God. Therefore, a person must first be a theist before becoming a Christian.

Every Christian who reads this post and/or watches this video should be moved to prayer for the very old Dr. Flew specifically and should be encouraged to continue witnessing to the most difficult rejectors of the gospel in our lives.
