There is a considerable amount of debate surrounding what exactly Christian existentialists believe when it comes to doubt. However, we can take a look at some of the key ideas put forth by Kierkegaard and other thinkers in this school of thought to get a general sense of their views. Generally speaking, Christian existentialists are trying to reconcile the seemingly contradictory notions of an all-powerful and loving God with the reality of human suffering. For them, doubt is an important part of this process, as it allows us to question our assumptions and faith in light of adversity. This invite us to grapple with the big questions surrounding our existence.
