About this eBook

A journey from faith via evidence. Why a university professor gave up religion and became an unbeliever.

Rob J Hyndman is Professor of Statistics at Monash University, Australia. He was a Christadelphian for nearly 30 years, and was well-known as a writer and Bible teacher within the Christadelphian community. He gave up Christianity when he no longer thought that there was sufficient evidence to support belief in the Bible.

This is a personal memoir describing Rob's journey of deconversion. Until recently, he was regularly speaking at church conferences internationally, and his books are still used in Bible classes and Sunday Schools around the world. He even helped establish an innovative new church, which became a model for similar churches in other countries. Eventually he came to the view that he was mistaken, and that there was little or no evidence that the Bible was inspired or that God exists.

In this book, he reflects on how he was fooled, and why he changed his mind. Whether you agree with his conclusions or not, you will be led to reflect on the nature of faith and evidence, and how they interact.

I found this book so informative that I read it in one sitting. I just couldn't quit reading till I finished it. My main reason for such interest is that my best friends are Christos and I am an Atheist with a capital "A". We don't discuss religion as I don't want to ruin our friendship. This book gave me a real in site on the thinking of Christos that I could now understand. I appreciate the courage the author had to come out with such a honest book, knowing the would be a cost to pay. Like most other similar type books, the authors always come to the conclusion, they are happier now having a better understanding of how the universe operates. The best to Rob & his family in the future.

A really interesting book which sets out concisely the lack of evidence of a god and the flaws of the bible.
