This review is from: In two minds: The dilemma of doubt & how to resolve it (Paperback)

I read Os Guinness's book In two minds : the dilemma of doubt & how to resolve it back in 1980 when I was a college Chaplain in England. This book gives an excellent survey of "families of doubt" and how each variety of doubt can be honestly faced and answers found. Guinness, a British thinker who worked with Francis Shaeffer in Switzerland, distinguishes doubt from unbelief and from faith. Doubt, he says, is faith "in two minds", lurching between the mind of faith and the mind of unbelief. Rightly understood, it can indeed be a pathway to a stronger faith. This book, unfortunately out of print, is well worth finding and reading.
