Faithful Doubt

Philosophy

“Guy Collins weaves a fascinating portrait of the ways that doubt and faith nourish one another. Collins shows that a faithless quest for certainty manifests itself across a variety of seemingly opposing forms of modern thought, whether in religious fundamentalisms, in the dogmatic scientism of secular atheists like Christopher Hitchens, in angry rejections of God in the face of evil, or in smug theological 'explanations' of human suffering. Faithful Doubt makes a compelling case that doubt does not diminish faith but ensures that it remains faith.”
