The story of Charles Darwin’s ‘deathbed’ conversion to faith in Christ has been repeated in different ways for many years.
Dr. Croft has spent over 20 years studying the claims and the rebuttals. The essence of his book is that Darwin definitely died with faith in Christ. For proof, he goes largely to a narrative written in a US paper in Boston in 1915. Here we discover that an evangelist called Lady Hope visited Darwin at his home in Kent about six months before his death in 1882.
