I Sold My Soul on eBay: Viewing Faith through an Atheist's Eyes - Hemant Mehta
This is one of two recent books that offer the ultimate “outsiders” perspective of the Christian Church - that of an atheist. In this book, Hemant Mehta evaluates various evangelical worship services in order to offer his insights for the benefit of the church. Hemant placed himself on eBay out of a desire to learn more about Christianity. He admittedly doesn’t fit the common stereotype. Unlike some atheists, he claims, “I am not angry with God, and I don’t want to rid the world of religion… I’m a friendly atheist” (4). Evangelical Jim Henderson won the bid that sent atheist Hemant Mehta on his paid assignment to evaluate various churches. For my extended evaluation on this experiment, click HERE.
