Modern Skepticism: A Journey Through the Land of Doubt and Back Again A Life Story

"Modern Skepticism: A Journey Through the Land of Doubt and Back Again" by Joseph Barker is the story of a late 19th-century minister wrestling with his faith as he witnesses the rising tide of disbelief. The book begins with the author looking back on successes in ministry, highlighting the personal crisis he faced when the foundation of his belief faced harsh challenges. Barker then investigates the different roads that lead others, and eventually himself, to question faith, like moral failings, contradictions within religious teachings, and the perceived shortcomings within the church itself. Readers will follow Barker's transformation as he grapples with doubt, his search for truth, and as he tries to reconcile what he believes with reason.
