Is Doubt a Sign of Weak Faith or a guardian of Truth?

Most Christians strive to know the will of God and follow the example of Jesus as seen through the eyes of the Gospel writers. But a belief that the Bible is literally true can put many in the odd position of defending falsehood, bigotry, and even violence. This book offers alternatives that are compatible with Christianity’s multi-millennial quest for love and truth, while also honoring what we know about ourselves and our world.

Do you have Doubts about some Bible Teachings?

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

If Curiosity is essential to Spiritual Growth

This award-winning 2nd edition will help everyone who seeks a deeper understanding of Christianity:

  • If you find some traditional beliefs morally troubling …
  • If you feel pained by the priorities of fellow Christians …
  • If you question authorities who claim to have all the answers …
  • If you seek a fresh approach to the timeless wisdom of the Bible …

Then Trusting Doubt is for you!
