"A hugely readable journey of cultural and spiritual discovery, sparkling with wit and wisdom." -Alister McGrath, Author & Theologian"this charming book ...will take you willingly on a highly personal and revelatory odyssey." -Christopher Schoppa, Washington Post"...reads like a fast-paced novel. I loved the humor, skillful use of language... I was totally captivated from beginning to end." -Marilyn Meberg, 'Women of Faith'~ ECPA Christian Book Award Finalist~ Winner of the Grace Irwin Prize, for the Christian book of the year by a Canadian Author~ Recipient of the Logos Book Award ~ best book in Christian Living.BOOK SYNOPSISSurprised by Oxford is the memoir of a skeptical agnostic who comes to a dynamic personal faith in God during graduate studies in literature at Oxford University.Carolyn Weber arrives at Oxford a feminist from a loving but broken family, suspicious of men and intellectually hostile to all things religious. As she grapples with her God-shaped void alongside the friends, classmates, and professors she meets, she tackles big questions in search of Truth, love, and a life that matters.From issues of fatherhood, feminism, doubt, doctrine, and love, Weber explores the intricacies of coming to faith with an aching honesty and insight echoing that of the poets and writers she studied. Rich with illustration and literary references, Surprised by Oxford is at once gritty and lyrical; both humorous and spiritually perceptive. This savvy, credible account of Christian conversion and its after-effects follows the Oxford liturgical calendar as it entertains, informs, and promises to engage even the most skeptical and unlikely reader."...honest, entertaining and refreshingly free of superficial cant." --Vaughan Roberts, Rector, St. Ebbe's Oxford "...filled with prose that sings and paragraphs that beg to be read a second time.  A delightful read."--Trevin Wax, Christianity Today's "Books to Note"

Dr. Carolyn Weber taught literature to undergrads for 15 years, but now works from her home as an author and poet. She lives in London, Ontario, Canada with her husband and 4 children.In Surprised by Oxford, Carolyn Weber provides us with a personal and detailed account of her life at Oxford University and how, eventually, she became a Christian while studying there.Her book is not the usual kind of chronological biography, but is instead an interactive story of friends and acquaintances that benefitted her life and, eventually, led her to faith in Christ—or detracted her at times. Central in the story is the man (whom she calls TDH, for tall, dark and handsome) whom she several years later marries. He is a friend and debater with her throughout her journey to faith and one in whom she finds integrity and strength.Life at Oxford is intellectually stimulating, with large doses of hedonism and post-modernism thrown in, as the reader is taken into the confines of classrooms and pubs, parties and isolated philosophical reflections. Throughout the foray, Weber provides verse by a range of poets and theologian-philosophers, including C.S. Lewis.Most of her “memoirs” involve creative conversations, somewhat difficult for me to imagine. For example, her interaction and exchange with Professor Von X (the title of chapter 19, but referring ot a Dr. Condorston) seems overworked and contrived. Nevertheless, his antagonism toward Christianity undoubtedly represents the attitudes of other professors at the university.Weber does, however, throughout her dialogues with peers and colleagues, cover most of the familiar criticisms of Christianity in general and God in particular, with Jesus receiving his share of university antagonism as well. In many chapters she is tangled with a continuing battery of doubts and confessions and her discourse about them forms the central part of her story.Weber is an accomplished author and poet so, as we would expect, the book is highly readable and enticing. She weaves poetry and images throughout the book in the way that only a lover and learner of literature can. The images of Oxford are beguiling, where smells and sights abounding as conversations with her friends take place.I bought the book expecting to read more about the inspiration of C.S. Lewis, in that the title reflects Surprised by Joy. In that respect, I was somewhat disillusioned but, as other readers have observed, the book is “honest and entertaining” and well worth reading.
