The production of an audiobook version of Evidence Considered is underway.
Glenton Jelbert was a Christian for more than three decades, changing his mind when he examined the evidence that supported his reasons for belief and found it wanting.
Christians after Jesus gradually evolved a number of stories supporting the idea that he was the son of David in the absence of any supporting evidence.

I wrote this book accidentally, only realizing half way through that it might be worth converting my blog series into a book. The blog series was a set of posts responding to a collection of essays entitled Evidence for God: 50 Arguments for Faith from the Bible, History, Philosophy, and Science. But I realized that my argument for atheism is the same as a set of reasons for why theistic arguments fail to persuade me. And 50 arguments would surely cover many of the main reasons people have for belief.
At some point, I thought I might make some of my blog into a book, so I idly mentioned cover design to my friend Joshua Wright. And so began an entertaining art project. First, we needed a concept. I had an idea of Lady Justice, weighing the evidence, which fitted with the book’s theme. But Josh saw some deeper levels to the analogy. What if considering the evidence was an act of rebellion? Graffiti on a structure that was beginning to crumble. I had used similar analogies in some of my writing and so the idea evolved.
