Charles Murray accepted Christ reluctantly after a 20-year journey. In an interview with The Epoch Times, he admitted that he is still not where he thinks he should be as he struggles with belief, but feels he had no other choice. Murray’s autobiographical account, “Taking Religion Seriously,” describes his continuing journey.
Murray is one of America’s most prominent public intellectuals, a political scientist with ties to Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Intellectuals believe themselves rational people and are not into discussions about spirituality. As Murray put it, “Intellectuals today and for a long time went to college as young people and have learned that smart people don’t believe that stuff anymore.”
