Product Description
Too often, Christians who find themselves feeling skeptical or melancholy are perplexed, troubled, or even ashamed. In Knowing Darkness Addison Hodges Hart provocatively argues that both skepticism and melancholy are not necessarily detrimental but can actually strengthen and deepen Christian faith. / Citing diverse examples ranging from Ecclesiastes and Job to Mother Teresa and Jack Kerouac, Hart shows how skepticism and sadness can inform faith ― and how genuine spiritual friendships can sustain those experiencing dark times. / Hart’s forthright, engaging reflections will inspire readers to broaden their ideas about belief and thus find a more authentic faith.
Customer Reviews
Addison thinks and writes about things that are not discussed, but needs to be discussed, in the church. The church has emphasized positive emotions so much that they have forgotten the reality that most people, and Christians, live in. Their is a place for Melancholy and Skeptism in the church and one can find this topic in scripture. What about those who constantly fail in romantic relationships; well this book discusses that topic as well.
