Things a Computer Scientist Rarely Talks About

Summary: Nothing else quite like it
Review: This is not a book that will revolutionize your spiritual life, but if you'd like to spend some time in the company of a very intelligent Christian, you'll enjoy this book.
I think it fair to say that Knuth is the greatest living computer scientist. He is also one of a number of prominent scientists (including Owen Gingerich and John Polkinghorne) who are willing to make their Christianity known. This tends to refute the popular perception that all scientists, or all intellectuals, are atheists. In my experience (and Knuth's experience, as evident from the audience questions in the book), a lot of atheists get their atheism blindly on authority, and whether or not you agree with him, contact with an intelligent Christian such as Knuth can be a very refreshing change!
