Book Description

 

 

This book tells the story of Keith’s restless journey of faith, from his early days at Prairie Bible Institute in Canada, through positive encounters with Anglican evangelicalism in Australia, and into a more restful and sustainable faith. Beginning with his childhood and early exposure to fundamentalism, it plots the gradual, but relentless questioning of beliefs that he had been so winningly nurtured into, Two significant landmarks on his journey were doctoral studies on American philosopher Alvin Plantinga and the discovery that the Noah Flood story is probably best understood as myth, with implications for how the Bible can be read and appropriated in a 21st century world.

A Restless Faith is multi-faceted and likely to impact people in different ways. Some will find it challenging and confronting, others will feel liberated and encouraged. It is a book that doesn’t hold back its punches, but even these are delivered gently.
