The Christian Skeptic was written for those who are not sure if they can still call themselves Christian because they are no longer able to ""drink the Kool-Aid"" of orthodoxy. It is also for seekers who find the person of Jesus intriguing or compelling but who struggle with all the doctrines that surround his story. Inspired by Leslie Weatherhead's now out-of-print book The Christian Agnostic, Jody Seymour takes a fresh look at some of the basic tenets of the Christian Faith. He offers new insight into concepts such as the nature of God, the person and work of Jesus, how to read the Bible, the role of the church, and the question of whether or not Jesus really said ""my way or the highway."" This book will give you an opportunity to explore the faith with the windows open to some fresh air, and you may discover that being caught between belief and doubt is a good place to be. Jody Seymour is the senior pastor of Davidson United Methodist Church in Davidson, NC. He is the author of Looking for God in All the Wrong Places, Finding God between the Lines, A Time for Healing, Lost but Making Excellent Time, and Marking the Gospel. Gail Spach is the church librarian at Davidson United Methodist Church. She not only edited The Christian Skeptic, but also added some wonderful words to the original manuscript.
