When Faith Becomes a Question
When Faith Becomes a Question
Notes on belief, doubt and the life between certainty.
A short, essayistic book about what happens to inherited faith when it survives its first serious collision with doubt — written for people who no longer trust the easy answers but haven't been able to walk away from the questions either.
WHY I WROTE THIS
I started writing this the year my own faith stopped feeling like furniture and started feeling like a room I had to actually live in, uncertainty and all. It felt important to write it before I'd resolved anything, while it was still true.
“Doubt is not the opposite of faith. It is what faith looks like when it has actually met a real life, rather than a theoretical one.”
