The Doubters' Creed: How to Be a Christian When You Don't Believe It's True by Randal Rauser
on Amazon Kindle
I finished this short positive tour de force this week. Excellent, fairly in-depth answers and vivid examples for those who severely doubt Christianity and for those who disbelieve the Creeds, and those who are atheists, but who hold to moral realism.
One of Rauser's most powerful real-life examples is from the Rwanda genocide where he documents how a well-known creedal Christian leader in Rwanda genocidal helped mass murderers slaughter many of his own church's members!
BUT
a non-Christian individual endangered his own life in order to rescue over 100 Rwandans getting them past checkpoints!
Rauser shows how this latter rescuer lived out Jesus' moral truths, even though he wasn't a Christian.
Then Rauser gives an extended description/distillation of the heart of Christianity--that of seeking the infinitely good, loving God and loving all other humans as yourself, Jesus's answer to questioners.
As a non-creedalist, while The Doubters' Creed didn't convince me to accept the doctrinal creeds of Christianity, the book did affirm some views I hold to such as moral realism.
Encourage any doubters, seekers, etc. that you know to check out Rauser's book that has a very positive, life-affirming openness to those who don't believe.
Don't miss this thoughtful book, whatever your own life stance is.
