From Brian McLaren—the author of A New Kind of Christianity—comes a bold proposal: only doubt can save the world and your faith.

We live in a world where the old assumptions–not least, the ones about spirituality and theology–are being challenged every day. Sixty-five million adults in the U.S. have dropped out of active church attendance and about 2.7 million more are leaving every year.

Faith After Doubt is for the millions of people around the world who feel that their faith is falling apart. It’s for people who feel God is a little less real than before. It is for people who have a faith crisis in the middle of Biology 101. It is for the millions of quiet church-goers who show up Sunday after Sunday, but feel the bottom is dropping out. It is for those who dropped out of religion long ago, but still dream that there’s a way for them to be both spiritually curious and intellectually honest.

Using his own story and the stories of a diverse group of struggling believers, Brian D. McLaren, a former pastor, proposes a four-stage model of faith development in which questions and doubt are not the enemy of faith, but rather a portal to a more mature and fruitful kind of faith. The four stages—Simplicity, Complexity, Perplexity, and Harmony—offer a path forward that can help sincere and thoughtful people leave behind unnecessary baggage and intensify their commitment to what matters most.
