Publisher's Summary

"People don't abandon faith because they have doubts. People abandon faith because they think they're not allowed to have doubts."

Too often, our honest questions about faith are met with cold confidence and easy answers. But false certitude doesn't result in strong faith - it results in disillusionment, or worse, in a dogmatic, overweening faith unable to see itself or its object clearly.

Even as a pastor, Austin Fischer has experienced the shadows of doubt and disillusionment. In Faith in the Shadows, he leans into perennial questions about Christianity with raw and fearless integrity. He addresses contemporary science, the problem of evil, hell, God's silence, and other issues, offering not only fresh treatments of these questions but also a fresh paradigm for thinking about doubt itself. Doubt, Fischer contends, is no reason to leave the faith. Instead, it's an invitation to a more honest faith - a faith that's not in control, but that trusts more fully in its Lord.

Seriously lacking depth

If you are having superficial doubts about your faith, perhaps this book will help bring you back. If you are seriously questioning your faith, don’t waste your time. Too many assumptions, and long bows in this book. Builds a case for god to exist, then assumes it’s the Christian god with no reasoning or explanation.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
