Exploring Doubt: Landscapes of Loss and Longing - Alex Wright - Bog

Bag om Exploring Doubt: Landscapes of Loss and Longing

Christianity has often seemed impatient with the idea of doubt. Certainty, not irresolution, has been seen as the test of faith and key to unlocking participation in the supposed life to come. But when his marriage collapsed, Alex Wright knew that all his own certainties had been reduced to rubble. The future he had planned on the Norfolk coast disappeared as fast as a sea-fret burning up in the noonday sun. In this moving book, written out of his own disturbing experience of deep-rooted uncertainty about the future, the author suggests that it is actually doubt, not conviction, that expresses the most important insights about religion and the spiritual life and, indeed, about life itself.
