There's a stereotype of a young, zealous Christian who feels called
to the ministry as a pastor, goes to seminary, and then loses his
faith as he studies the writings of all those intellectuals and
theologians. The stereotype may not be accurate, but there are
those who fit this description, not to mention many who leave home
for college as passionate Christians and come home unbelievers.
More importantly, that stereotype represents a fear-the fear that
too much education or contact with those whose beliefs differ from
those of a particular community will cause someone to lose their
faith. But there's another group, much larger, but not heard nearly
as frequently. This group consists of people who have gone from the
position of fear that creates the stereotype to a position of
faith, a faith that is no longer afraid of that outer darkness that
looms outside the walls of their religious community. Indeed, they
may not perceive any looming darkness at all. From Fear to Faith,
edited by Travis Milam and Joel L. Watts, gives voice to that too
often unheard group. It is a collection of essays from those who
have lived in fear, have faced the looming dark, collided with
their share of brick walls, but have come out with a new-found
faith and undismayed trust. The journeys of faith presented in this
book reveal a group deeply insightful and grounded minds, rich in
thriving spirituality, joy, and hope. Where there was once
trepidation in asking the tough questions of human existence, of
the divine relationship with creation, there is now a certain hope
found when these authors have struggled to overcome canyons of
fear, leaving behind a life of black and white certitude, to live
in a beautiful world of gray. They have learned that having
questions and even doubts does not reflect a lack of faith. Rather,
hiding in fear from the serious questions indicates a lack of faith
in the one who said, "Don't be afraid." Come join in this journey
from fear to faith.
