Surprised by Doubt

How Disillusionment Can Invite Us Into a Deeper Faith

By: Joshua D. Chatraw, Jack Carson

Narrated by: James R. Cheatham

Even those who live by faith sometimes doubt. Those doubts don't have to mean the end of Christian identity.

In Surprised by Doubt, Joshua Chatraw and Jack Carson help listeners rediscover a deeper faith in the midst of a confusing world. They invite skeptics and doubters to explore the ancient faith for a new perspective on contemporary Christianity.

Chatraw and Carson build on C. S. Lewis's metaphor that envisions Christianity as a house with many rooms, suggesting that listeners move beyond the cramped attic of reactionary versions of the faith to explore the larger, more ancient main floors of the house.

With pastoral care and intellectual rigor, Chatraw and Carson not only help Christians think through the issues confronting them. They also help listeners engage their emotional journey of anxiety, fear, anger, and frustration. Listeners will discover the wisdom of the past and ways to reimagine a life of faith alongside doubt.

Doubts about the truth of Christ can be met with reason, as well as faith.

This involves reasoned thoughts for those questioning Christianity. Doubts are not new. The authors point to how thinkers before our time dealt with their own doubts.
