The Courage to Doubt

Robert Davidson

The Hebrew Bible is, in part, a history of individuals who, in order to retain faith in God, were led to rebel against and question what was being confidently affirmed about God. Jacob, Moses, Jeremiah, and the authors of many of the Psalms are obvious examples. Robert Davidson tracks this important theme as it emerges in the patriarchal, Mosaic, and prophetic traditions of the Hebrew Bible. He helps the reader see that this theme is particularly relevant today when many, even within the believing community, find themselves forced to question and doubt--and often do so with unnecessarily guilty consciences.

Praise for this book

""So many scholars seem to write only for fellow scholars. Professor Davidson writes for the minister and the ordinary man and woman. This is a simply marvelous study. It makes sense of the Old Testament, and it helps make sense of life."" --Expository Times
