Two Causes of Doubt

Here are two causes of doubts about the Christian faith: (1) Facing questions for the first time and not knowing how to answer them. The remedy is to keep thinking rather than to stop believing. And it's best to think so as to love the truth more than ideas; (2) Letting the critics define the terms of the debate by unconsciously accepting their questionable assumptions. The answer here is to challenge all assumptions – including your own about critical thinking. Questions don’t have to lead to doubt and then to dismissal. And believers don’t have to accept the burden of proof.
