After Doubt – How to Question Your Faith without Losing It
Outreach 2022 Resource of the Year (Spiritual Growth)Is there a way to walk faithfully through doubt and come out the other side with a deeper love for Jesus, the church, and its tradition?Can we question our faith without losing it?Award-winning author, pastor, and professor A.J. Swoboda has witnessed many young people wrestle with their core Christian beliefs.Too often, what begins as a set of critical and important questions turns to resentment and faith abandonment.Unfortunately, the church has largely ignored its task of serving people along their journey of questioning.The local church must walk alongside those who are deconstructing their faith and show them how to reconstruct it. Drawing on his own experience of deconstruction, Swoboda offers tools to help emerging adults navigate their faith in a hostile landscape.Doubt is a part of our natural spiritual journey, says Swoboda, and deconstruction is a legitimate space to encounter the living God. After Doubt offers a hopeful, practical vision of spiritual formation for those in the process of faith deconstruction and those who serve them.Foreword by pastor and author John Mark Comer.

The Future of Cultural Analysis : A Critical Inquiry
Across the humanities and the social sciences, “cultural analysis” is a vibrant research practice.Since its introduction in the 1990s, its main principles have remained largely the same: interdisciplinarity, political urgency, a heuristic use of concepts, the detailed analysis of objects of culture, and an awareness of the scholar’s situatedness in the present.But is the practice still suited to the spiraling of social, political, and environmental crises that mark our time?Drawing on experiences in research, teaching, activism, and the creative arts, contributors explore what cultural analysis was back then, what it is now, and what it may be by 2034.In a shifting conjuncture, contributors strike notes of discomfort, defiance, and irony—as well as a renewed sense of urgency and care.

Let's Talk About Doubt : A story of doubt, faith and life in between
Although doubt is a normal part of Christian life, it is not a visible discussion within most churches.This tension led Kat Wordsworth to experience acute shame and isolation when she was overwhelmed with doubt while working for a church.Let's Talk About Doubt offers an antidote to this silence by combining Kat's story of doubtful faith with a wider look at the attitude towards doubt within contemporary Christian culture.Kat doesn't pretend to present a cure or step-by-step guide to eliminating doubt.Instead, she recounts how she found a way to accept her doubt, reclaim her faith and engage with church.Brutally honest but ultimately hopeful, Let's Talk About Doubt is essential for all those who experience doubt and all those who want to support them.

Why do religious believers doubt their faith, when true faith means only believing and thus doubting?
Religious believers may doubt their faith for a variety of reasons, including personal struggles, external influences, or intellectual questioning. Doubt is a natural part of the human experience, and even those with true faith may experience moments of uncertainty. True faith does not mean never doubting, but rather persevering in belief despite doubts. It is through grappling with doubt and seeking understanding that believers can deepen their faith and develop a more authentic and resilient relationship with their beliefs.

Is my faith a true faith?

Crisis of Doubt : Honest Faith in Nineteenth-Century England
The Victorian crisis of faith has dominated discussions of religion and the Victorians.Stories are frequently told of prominent Victorians such as George Eliot losing their faith.This crisis is presented as demonstrating the intellectual weakness of Christianity as it was assaulted by new lines of thought such as Darwinism and biblical criticism.This study serves as a corrective to that narrative.It focuses on freethinking and Secularist leaders who came to faith.As sceptics, they had imbibed all the latest ideas that seemed to undermine faith; nevertheless, they went on to experience a crisis of doubt, and then to defend in their writings and lectures the intellectual cogency of Christianity.The Victorian crisis of doubt was surprisingly large.Telling this story serves to restore its true proportion and to reveal the intellectual strength of faith in the nineteenth century.

Why do so few believers question their faith?
There are a few reasons why so few believers question their faith. Firstly, faith is often deeply ingrained in a person's identity and provides a sense of purpose and belonging, making it difficult to challenge. Additionally, many religious communities discourage questioning or doubting one's faith, creating a culture of conformity. Finally, the fear of uncertainty and the potential consequences of leaving one's faith, such as social ostracism or the fear of divine punishment, can also deter believers from questioning their faith.

What is the difference between faith and misuse of faith?
Faith is a belief or trust in something without proof or evidence, often associated with religion or spirituality. It is a positive and empowering force that can provide comfort and guidance. On the other hand, the misuse of faith involves using one's beliefs to manipulate or control others, justify harmful actions, or exploit people for personal gain. It can lead to intolerance, extremism, and harm to oneself and others.
