Does anyone know if Dr Peter Stoner was a convert to Christianity?
Was he formerly an athiest?

Dr Peter Stoner was a mathematician who worked out the odds of Jesus being the Son Of God, via the prophecies of the Old Testament coming true in the New Testament.

After taking only 8 prophecies the odds were something like 1 in 10 to the power of 28 that Jesus wasn't the Messiah.

From Wikipedia:
The ASA was formed in 1941 by Christian scientists, who were concerned about the quality of Christian evangelism on the subject of religion and science. It was the idea of Irwin A. Moon, who talked Moody Bible Institute president William H. Houghton into inviting a number of scientists of known orthodox Christian views to Chicago to discuss its formation. Those who attended were F. Alton Everest, Peter W. Stoner, Russell D. Sturgis, John P. VanHaitsma, and Irving A. Cowperthwaite, and the ASA was formed from this meeting.
