What we can learn from Larry Sanger's journey to faith
Niv Lobo
On February 5, just last week, Larry Sanger — a former philosophy professor and a co-founder of Wikipedia — announced his conversion to Christianity. He accompanied it with a long account of how that happened.
What’s going on? A vibe shift? A revival? A surprising rebirth of belief? Whatever is happening at a cultural level, I give thanks for Sanger’s testimony. Reading it was a delightful, encouraging experience; there were moments in Sanger’s story which struck me with a wonderful freshness, as well as others which resonated with my own coming to faith. It’s long, but I recommend reading it for yourself.
