Are You 100% Sure You Want to Be an Agnostic?
Andrew Sach and Jon Gemmell
Page count

Our reviewers said...
“Engages seriously with the assumptions and objections of our sceptical age. Thoughtful and considered, but wears it lightly. Draws on John’s Gospel and 1 John, so would dovetail well with Life ‘22 follow up.”
