We were sad to hear recently of the passing of prominent atheist-turned-deist Antony Flew, whose obituary can be found at the London Times . He was, among a multitude of accomplishments, the author of There is a God: How the Worlds Most Notorious Atheist Changed His Mind . A piece he penned in response to Richard Dawkins polemics appeared in the pages of First Things just over a year ago, in our December 2008 issue.
