The discussion was heard by over a million people worldwide. In 2008, he chaired a follow-up debate at the University of Oxford. In 2010, Taunton publicly debated Christopher Hitchens.[11] In 2015, he debated atheist Daniel Dennett and imam Zaid Shakir on Al Jazeera America,[12] as well as skeptic writer Michael Shermer.[13] He has also been a guest on a variety of television and radio shows, and has been quoted by the New York Times and Vanity Fair,[14] among other newspapers and magazines.[15][16][17] When not writing, teaching, or producing, Taunton travels widely, speaking on issues of faith and culture.[18] In 2016, Taunton published a book entitled The Faith of Christopher Hitchens about his friendship with the late atheist, in which he claimed that Hitchens seemed to be reevaluating his religious options, "if only theoretically," after his cancer diagnosis.[19] But the author is nonetheless clear that he does not believe Christopher Hitchens made a deathbed conversion: "I make no Lady Hope-like claims regarding Christopher Hitchens. As we have seen, there were no reports of a deathbed conversion."[20] Personal lifeTaunton was born at Fort Benning, Georgia. He and his wife, Lauri, have four children and live in Birmingham, Alabama.[2] In 2018, Taunton admitted that he had engaged in inappropriate behavior outside the bonds of his marriage. This followed his resignation as the executive director of Fixed Point Foundation in the fall of 2017.[21] His resignation came "after he was confronted about allegations that he had inappropriate relationships with two young women on the ministry staff."[22] Published works
