À propos de cet audio

Surprised by Oxford is the memoir of a skeptical agnostic who comes to a dynamic personal faith in God during graduate studies in literature at Oxford University.

Carolyn Weber arrives at Oxford a feminist from a loving but broken family, suspicious of men and intellectually hostile to all things religious. As she grapples with her God-shaped void alongside the friends, classmates, and professors she meets, she tackles big questions in search of truth, love, and a life that matters.

From issues of fatherhood, feminism, doubt, doctrine, and love, Weber explores the intricacies of coming to faith with an aching honesty and insight echoing that of the poets and writers she studied. Rich with literary references, Surprised by Oxford is at once gritty and lyrical; both humorous and spiritually perceptive. This savvy, credible account of Christian conversion and its aftereffects follows the Oxford liturgical calendar as it entertains, informs, and promises to engage even the most skeptical and unlikely listener.

The author paints such vivid pictures with her use of words that we are transported into her world. Her description of Oxford is a lovely peek into a life many of us will never experience. And her depth of soul-searching questions and insights is truly inspiring and leaves the reader much to ponder and take to heart. Additionally, the rich quotes from English literature are such a treat!

Deeply thoughtful and touching.

After listening to this wonderful book, I am going to purchase a hard copy so I can revisit the many meaningful quotes and scriptures referenced. As a Christian, this story gave me much perspective about grace and how we live in it day to day.

Beautifully written
