Undefending Christianity: Embracing Truth Without Having All the Answers

This book addresses the tension between religious conviction and the limits of human knowledge. It proposes that Christian belief does not require having definitive answers to every theological or philosophical question. The author argues for an approach to faith that prioritizes truth-seeking over defensive apologetics, suggesting that admitting uncertainty can strengthen rather than weaken authentic Christian commitment. The work engages with common challenges to Christian belief and explores how believers might maintain their faith while remaining open to questions, doubts, and ongoing inquiry. It touches on themes of epistemic humility, the nature of religious knowledge, and the relationship between faith and reason in contemporary discourse. more

“I know, I know…there’s something cliché about that. The heroine initially wanting to clobber a protagonist male, but later realizing that he’s grown on her and she actually really likes him. Technically, I’m not supposed to find that appealing. But maybe real life is a lot more cliché than anyone wants to admit. Or maybe there’s just a fine, subjective line between the cliché and the poetic.”

“We have seen some gatekeeping or fencing-the-table language already beginning to rear its head in this context. One needed to be baptized to take the meal; one needed to repent to take the meal; one needed a bishop or his subordinate to serve the meal. This was to become especially problematic when the church began to suggest that grace was primarily, if not exclusively, available through the hands of the priest and by means of the sacrament. One wonders what Jesus, dining with sinners and tax collectors and then eating his modified Passover meal with disciples whom he knew were going to deny, desert, and betray him, would say about all this. There needs to be a balance between proper teaching so the sacrament is partaken of in a worthy manner and overly zealous policing of the table or clerical control of it.”

“Unless some people are commissioned for the task, there will be no gospel preachers; unless the gospel is preached, sinners will not hear Christ’s message and voice; unless they hear him, they will not believe the truths of his death and resurrection; unless they believe these truths, they will not call on him; and unless they call on his name, they will not be saved.”
