Abstract

The New Testament may not seem to have a direct bearing on atheism, but nonetheless it can provide a serious, if implicit, challenge to its claims and conclusions. Both the new atheism and the New Testament offer meta-narratives: coherent accounts of the world in its origins, destiny and ultimate meaning. What the New Testament presents, through core symbols such as the kingdom of God in Mark and the Incarnation in John, are examples of God’s radical engagement with the world from beginning to end, an engagement that has Jesus Christ as its centre and source of its eschatological hope.
