Greg Boyd is always a readable author and a sure-footed apologist, but this is possibly his most useful offering yet. Here he tells the story of his own conversion, re-conversion and re-re-conversion - complete with the report of a despairing diatribe against God with more rows of asterisks than you'll find in the average evangelical paperback. His problem, he says, was that he didn't understand faith and doubt. And that's the reason for this wholesale onslaught against the kind of Christianity which equates "faith" with unwavering mental assent to biblical claims without hesitation or honest examination. Boyd believes faith is something you live, rather than simply make yourself believe - which means that the heart of it is not intellectual satisfaction, but personal commitment to a God whom you know you won't ever fully understand. In a day when evangelical Christians are increasingly locking themselves en masse into a variety of political and ethical convictions, adopted automatically in a knee-jerk manner rather than being arrived at by prayer, thought and study, it's vital that this summons back to the faith of Job and Jacob (not to mention Jesus himself) is read as widely as possible.
The best and most honest book I've read on "Doubt" since Os Guinness twenty years ago.
