You're listening to Unbelievable, with Justin Broiley.

I'm Ruth Jackson, part of the unbelievable team and you are listening to a classic replay

programme from the archives.

The episode you are about to hear was first broadcast on Premier Christian Radio on the

14th of November 2009. There's a bit of a change in the format this week. Instead of

a debate, Justin is interviewing Professor Alistair McGraft about his own journey of faith

and why he thinks Christianity makes best sense of the world as he sees it. You can get in

touch with the show and listen to more episodes at premierchristianradio.com slash unbelievable.

He's one of the best known Christian defenders of the faith in the UK, probably in the world.

In fact, Alistair McGraft has been one of the key respondents to Richard Dawkins and the

new atheists in the last few years. We're going to be hearing a special interview I conducted

with Alistair, all about his life, his ministry, his theology. It's a great way to spend

your afternoon in the company of one of the masters of faith and defence of the faith here

in the UK, Alistair McGraft. This was recorded at the office of Alistair McGraft, King's

College London. You'll hear some photographers snapping away in the background as well. I hope

that doesn't distract too much. This is because it was also written up as a piece for Christianity

magazine. You can find that in their December issue for 2009, the interview with Alistair

McGraft. Happy listening, as I speak to Alistair McGraft on his life, his faith and his

apologetics. Let's start off with your two roles, really, that you've had in life. A scientist

and as a theologian. Many people would say that those are two completely different arenas

to be working in. What do you say to that? Well, I was thinking that once myself, when

I was studying the science as a schoolboy, of course, I was quite an aggressive atheist.
