An Advocate for Enlightenment and a Vanguard for Spiritual Evolution

Trusting Doubt:
A Former Evangelical Looks at Old Beliefs in a New Light

“Trusting Doubt is a humble and sincere exploration of the Christian faith. Powerful, well-researched,and good-hearted, this is the finest disputation of evangelical Christianity I have ever read.” – Paul Constant, Columnist for The Stranger

“I've not bonded with a book like this since I read Constantine's Sword in 2005!” – Mikey Weinstein, Director of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, author of With God on Our Side

“Tarico has seen more of the relevant issues and contributed more novelty to the debate than some of the better known critics. Devastatingly good – and this from a very committed Christian.” – Ken Himma,, Ph.D., Department of Philosophy at Seattle Pacific University

Is Doubt a Sign of Weak Faith?

Or is doubt a sacred guardian of truth? Most Christians earnestly strive to worship God and follow the example of Christ. But a belief that the Bible is literally true puts them in the odd position of defending falsehood, bigotry, and even violence. This book exposes this Christian variant, which has risen to political power and now threatens our collective stability. And it shows how Evangelicalism undermines the compassionate ministry of Jesus.

Do You Have Doubts About Some Bible Teachings?

Psychologist Valerie Tarico was raised in a staunch mid-western fundamentalist family and educated at Wheaton College, home of the Billy Graham Center for Evangelicalism. After straining to keep her Christian beliefs intact, Tarico finally conceded that she found the task morally and intellectually impossible. Like her, many Christians are now admitting that blind or forced faith, in the midst of doubt, is not a path to God.

Discover Why Constructive Curiosity Is Essential to Spiritual Growth

This book will help everyone who is seeking a deeper understanding of Christianity:

• If you sense that some dogma may be morally flawed but can’t articulate why …
• If you want a contemporary framework to embrace the wisdom of the Bible …
• If you are alarmed by the Religious Right and want to know what drives them …
• If you yearn for the freedom to refine your own definitions of goodness and God …

Then trust your doubt to lead you toward a fuller exploration of Truth, Love, and Light.
