Which makes him an even better example; it proves that evangelicals don't have to hold that atheists are fools and incapable of doing good, which was basically the original charge. Considering this book was written primarly for Rauser's audience, namely Christians, this point is doubly true.
However, you should know that Jeffery Jay Lowder, a strong atheist who is definitely not driven by Apologetics concerns, co-authored the book.
Rauser is a very different strain of evangelical than the likes of William Lane Craig in that he's not primarily driven by apologetic concerns; Rauser is very much interested in building bridges, WLC has much less interest in doing so.
