Atheist intellectuals abandon their faith

A.N. Wilson is a leading British intellectual who wrote influential books in the 1990's attacking the Bible and Christianity. However, last year he announced that he now believed that Jesus did rise from the dead. His moving testimony in the Daily Mail, discusses arguments for the resurrection and ends

But an even stronger argument is the way that Christian faith transforms individual lives - the lives of the men and women with whom you mingle on a daily basis, the man, woman or child next to you in church tomorrow morning.

A nice article in the Wall Street Journal by Timothy Larson compares Wilson's story to that of some of leading "skeptics" of the 19th century who had similar conversions.
