Either way,
C.S. Lewis- Mere Christianity
or
The Screwtape Letters (same author)
They both carry nice intelligent Christian undertones, and the second makes a great read. A nice way to start opening closed minds, if thats what you're attempting.What good Christian book should I give to a Biochemistry scientist who is atheist, for his 86th birthday?
That's not a very respectful gift. What would you think of someone giving a Christian an atheistic book as a birthday present?
If you're really serious about this, you could get him a copy of the Skeptic's Annotated Bible. He'd probably enjoy that. (It's not available in print, but can be purchased on CD.)
Hi, there is a book called Answers in Genesis written by John Mackay and Ken Ham (both Christians and scientists), that looks at the Bible form a scientific point of view. They have also written similar books on biology, archaeology and astrophysics. These books are brilliant and are not insulting to the more scientifically educated mind.
Here is a link from wikipedia that gives you more information on this:

I'm a Christian, but I have to say:
You shouldn't. He's intelligent enough to decide for himself what he believes, and he has had plenty of time to do so.
To give him a Christian book when he hasn't asked for one is somewhat judgmental, in my opinion.
Get the man a nice bottle of Scotch (I suggest The Glenlivet) and celebrate his life with him.
Unless he has specifically asked for a text to study or look at, it would be a grave insult to him to give it to him. Instead why don't you try going to arborday.org and ordering a tree to be planted in a national forest in honor of his birthday. It is a wonderful way to not only help the Earth but show a respect to his belief system. That is if you really want to honor his birthday and not fling it in his face....What good Christian book should I give to a Biochemistry scientist who is atheist, for his 86th birthday?
If this is a gag gift, get him any book being hawked by televangelists. The more famous and insane the televangelist, the better.
But if you're serious about thinking it will convert him, don't do it. If you want a good themed book that won't offend him and all of that, get him a copy of "Good Omens" by Neil Gaiman and Terry Prachett. It's a riot.
Jehovah's Witnesses have a wonderful book called Evolution or Creation that might make a good arguement for the side of God but perhaps he wouldn't even read it. Either way, it is free of charge, but you can make a small donation to further the preaching of God's Kingdom throughout the earth, if you wish.
Some of these answers are ridiculous. Anything by Ken Ham %26amp; Co. he will see through in a second as the nonsense they are. Anyone with half a scientific education can see through the Jehovah's Witness "Creation or Evolution" book straight away. It was that book that first made me realise the fact that creationists were deliberately lying, it lies from the first paragraph on.
"The Screwtape Letters" by Lewis has the advantage of being amusing but my father is 85, no scientific education at all, and he's read it, so have I, and I'd guess your friend might have too. It was well known in the 1950s.
If you have to give something with a religious theme, avoid the moronic stuff. Fr. Teilhard de Chardin wasn't a moron, but his stuff has been dismissed by scientists and disavowed by his church. Maybe something really classic like the "Confessions of St Augustine."
Anything by Strobel should be good for a laugh. I assume this is a gag gift. When I read "Case for a Creator" I laughed quite a bit as he interviewed non-experts in any meaningful field of the areas he was discussing, and failed to talk with actual experts in those fields.
Evidence demands a verdict by Josh McDowell a past athiest who tried to disprove the bible and became a believer
from the bible book store,
for you to read first it is short and deals with Messianic prophecy "The Promise" by Hal Linsey
let him know you would like to trade books back with him in a month
and here is something to copy too
They follow the Jewish Religion.
Worshiping is Messianic Jewish (from the Greek for the anointed one Cristos/ Hebrew is Moshiach, not the other so called Judaism that has replaced Moses' rule for a blood atonement for sins Leviticus 17:11 claiming there are other ways to atone for sins, while in each of those given the giver also sacrificed the blood atonement too. These 'Jewish' reject Isaiah's fulfillment to the new coventant (Jeremiah 31:31) "He shall be exaulted but first marred more than any man, and he will be REJECTED, and lay down his life to make atonement for our sins." Isaiah 52:13-53:12
The non Messianic Jewish many claim that it is Israel that died innocent for its sins= total willful blindness.
Isaiah 9:6 shows why the Messiah is to be worshipped and on earth received worship too "Unto us a child is born, a son is given, he is mighty GOD, wonderful in counsel, and the prince of peace.
then we have others with only one requirement that they reject the Messianic Jew and the Messiah of the Jewish Scriptures and they are accepted even
athiest Jews, Reformed Jews that say there is no Messiah and they will be the Messianic age, or the orthodox Jewish some of whom believe Rabbi Schneerson was/is the Messiah.
PREACHES BELIEVING IN THE MESSIAH=TOTALLY JEWISH. Jonah preached to the gentiles in Ninevah to repent of sins and believe in God too. Why would other than Messianic Jews teach about what they reject? but the orthodox have preached that Rabbi Schneerson is the Messiah, yet so wrong. He wasnt even born in Bethelhem, but in Europe.
Bethelem though you are small from you will come the one from eternity."
Hell? Daniel 12:2 teaches there is the place of everlasting abhorance for unbelievers.
Awareness Campaigns, what is wrong with helping others to be aware that they can become truely Jewish, or to teach gentiles they can come to the Jewish Messiah too.
Moshe Rosen is the founder and is born raised and lives as a true Messianic Jew.
Israel is allied with numbers of evangelical churches too.
c) this is the true religion of Judaism
Shalom and good question too,
David in Messiah my good Shepherd Psalm 23/John 10 and best friend, I wont give you that verse again, ok I will just in case you forgot the words of love from the Jewish Messiah spoken from heaven; Revelation 1:1, %26amp; 3:19%26amp;20 knocking on our heart door to come in forgive sins and be our personal Messiah and best friend.
Darwin's On the Origin of Species, perhaps? Darwin was a Christian for much of his life but slowly became an agnostic (rather than an atheist) after the death of his daughter. I suppose it can be said that he gave up on the Church rather than on God.
since he is a scientist he probably would like this website or books from this website www. bookglobal.net.

1- That is very rude and disrespectful...that is like someone giving a Christian Pastor a shirt that says "Jesus Sucks" (He doesn't!)
2- The language of God is (I've heard) a very good book that explains how science and Christianity can go together...
What about something "neutral" but which quietly speaks of the creativity of God, such as "Earth from the Air" views, or Hubble telescope picture books?
Don't give him a religious book, if he's an atheist. Be a good Christian by example, and give him something he likes. He won't even read the book. Thanks.
There is no such book...Give him a copy of Conversations with God, by Neale Donald Walsch. .He will enjoy knowing God and science are interchangeable.. God bless
The present you should give him is your reading a good science book or two and one on the history of religion. Then sit down and talk with him.
Something that might be useful as toilet paper.
planning to insult the person much?......try a secular book instead, it'd be more appropriate.......
"The Bio-Chemical analysis of the shroud of Turin containing
God's gene"--By Pastor Thomas De Haan
None. Why would you want to waste his time?
Give him "the god delusion" by Richard Dawkins instead. Heck, read it yourself first.
Bible... But honestly why on Earth you want to do that?! At 86 he will not change and say Good The Creator.... Da Vinchi Code and Angels and Demons by Brown may be good Idea but he may read that already
Christian book? Pfffft, why not some viagra instead? It will do him many more favours.
that's a really mean thing for someone to do.
don't shove your beliefs down peoples throats, mmkai?
get him a chia pet.
=]
The Alchemist by Paulo Coehlo
Might as well give him a little children's book- try "Big Feet, Small Feet".
Bible, only if you are sure he won't be hurt.
I hope that guy can work a cane upside your stupid head.
A large print Bible, before it's too late.
None, it would be an insult to him
The Bible.
You either accept it is the Word of God, or you don't. Faith comes through hearing the word of God- NOBODY is ever converted without hearing it.
PS, I am an atheist, but that shouldn't stop you giving him a Bible.
