What if we've been looking at faith all wrong? What if faith is not a mere byproduct of cultural factors, but an echo resounding from eternity? Atheists like Richard Dawkins often mock prayer, equating it to calling upon a fairy in the sky. This misunderstanding pervades western society, criticizing those that practice traditional faith as out of touch. In A Holy Haunting, Dr. Sam D. Kim interacts with this perception of faith and challenges readers to look at faith another way.
"This comfort with ambiguity and openness to questions and doubts is another marker that distinguishes Kim's work from earlier generations of modern apologists. The tone of Kim's work seems to reflect the person and character of Jesus better and more gracefully than earlier generations of apologists did."
"Approaches Christianity with well-reasoned, empathetic ideas that seek meaningful conversations, not heavy-handed conversions. A nuanced, if not comprehensive, call for revitalization of Christianity's core message."

I’m a Harvard-trained ethicist and New York minister. I was appointed as a research fellow at the Center for Bioethics at Harvard Medical School and was part of Harvard Catalyst [a center for science and training], where I explored the inequities surrounding health, immigration, and social policies. I wrote A Holy Haunting aiming to close the evergrowing gap between faith and science.
