A Creed For a Christian Skeptic

4.9/5 (34583 ratings)

Description:(From front dust jacket flap) "This is a book written by a layman for other laymen. It is not concerned with current theological controversies or with questions that professional theologians think laymen ought to be asking. It comes out of the author's experience of her own difficulties and takes up the questions that she has in fact discussed with her friends and acquaintances, both inside and outside the churches. The questions tend to be personal ones. Has science made Christianity obsolete? How come I worship a God who seems to have nothing to do with the world as it really is? Is it really my fault that I cannot get much out of church? How can I be the same person in church on Sunday and in the world during the rest of the week? No honest treatment of such questions can be simple, but Mary McDermott Shideler is always practical. She does not offer Christian belief as a magic formula to banish problems but as a guide that can lead, step by step, to becoming a whole and effective person. She demonstrates that traditional Christianity is quite in place with our scientifically-oriented culture. Despite the opposition of certain fashionable philosophies it is as reasonable and as hard as it ever was, and it meets urgent questions that have not changed. Who are we? What kind of world do we live in? Why are we here? Where are we going? How shall we live?" -Samuel J.
