Believing Again: Doubt and Faith in a Secular Age
David Martin-- London School of Economics"Remarkable. . . . A masterly exploration of the belief-unbelief debate in modern times, this book clearly and elegantly brings out what the main contributors -- poets, philosophers, and theologians -- have to say. There is no more appropriate companion to Charles Taylor’s magisterial A Secular Age."Kevin J. Vanhoozer-- Trinity Evangelical Divinity School"This book reminds us that the iniquities and inquiries alike of the (nineteenth-century) fathers have been visited on the children of modernity. We are all products, conscious or not, of a powerful cultural sea change that has made belief in God difficult and supernaturalism hard to imagine. Roger Lundin features poets, novelists, and theologians who not only express this difficulty but chart a way through it. This is not a book for specialists, however, but for all wide-awake Christians who have wondered how we came to be where we are and what we can do to renew the sea of faith at a time of its low Western tide."-- The Times Literary Supplement"Roger Lundin's Believing Again: Doubt and Faith in a Secular Age scrutinizes the sources of modern disbelief through the lens provided by literary figures from Dostoevsky to Auden, and theologians like Barth and Balthasar. It provides a major complement to Charles Taylor's A Secular Age."
