A.J. Swoboda
Dr. A. J. Swoboda (PhD University of Birmingham), assistant professor of Bible, theology, and world Christianity, has written a terrific book for everyone who struggles with doubt. It is called After Doubt: How to Question Your Faith without Losing It (Brazos Press, 2021). He joins David Capes on “The Stone Chapel” to discuss what motivated him to write the book and what he has learned by walking with people who wrestle with doubt for the last twenty years. Doubt and deconstruction are normal parts of the theological journey, he believes. But ultimately, the journey does not have to end in “shipwreck.” With the right guides and right disciplines, it is possible to stay on the journey with a stronger, more resilient faith. But there are no quick fixes or easy rides.
