Summary

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.

2/5

For me, this book missed a lot of what people in deconstruction are actually processing. It felt like quite a dualistic approach to deconstruction, which in and of itself made it a difficult book to listen to at times.
There were some great thoughts in here, and even those that provoked a reaction in me were helpful in processing why that reaction is there and clarifying what exactly I don’t agree with.
He bases lots of his points on the Bible, which is fine unless part of your questioning is of the Bible itself.
Well written though and I’m glad I listened to it. Just not where I’m at in my faith journey.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
