A message from the author: Its November 12th, and that means my second book Freedom to Doubt, published by Tellectual Press, is now available for purchase! Special thanks to Ed Suominen, Manager of Tellectual Press, for helping to make the book the absolute best it could possibly be. We also managed to get some great blurbs for the book, including the following: This book is exactly what every historically-critical pastor needs available at hand. Chuck’s work is a beautiful and very accessible synthesis of his broad understanding of our sacred texts, various Christian traditions, his personal struggles with both, and devout, mature faith. Freedom to Doubt is a sampling of the kind of faith we seek to inspire and need to inspire to keep the Christian message relevant to the real world in a landscape increasingly divided between the literalist “true-believers” and religion’s cultured despisers. —The Rev. Nathan Winterhof, Our Savior’s Lutheran Church of Solon Springs, Wisconsin With unflinching forthrightness and poignancy, Shingledecker is one of a growing number of engaging Christian writers like Thom Stark and Mark Roncace who eschew the chicanery of apologetics and admit the indefensibility of many traditional Christian doctrines. To these other authors he adds the perspective of a former evangelical and a current member of the Orthodox tradition, providing refreshing insight into the honest doubts of many of the earliest church fathers. It takes courage for a Christian to admit to the world what many believers experience but few express: “Some days, I wake up an atheist, and go to bed a devout believer. Some days, I ‘know’ that God exists, and on other days I’m pretty sure he doesn’t.” Highly recommended for firm believers, doubting believers, and nonbelievers alike! —Kenneth W. Daniels, author of Why I believed: Reflections of a Former Missionary The others, along with more information about the book, can be found at the official website: FreedomToDoubt Also, I want to give an extra special thanks to New Testament Scholar and member of the Jesus Seminar, Dr. Robert M. Price for a beautifully written introduction. His work has helped me in so many ways -- emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually -- that all I can say is that he demonstrates a more Christian example than most Christians (probably including myself) I know. Sincerely, Chuck Shingledecker
