Believing Again- Doubt and Faith in a Secular Age

by Roger Lundin

(From the book cover) "In Believing Again Roger Lundin brilliantly explores the cultural consequences of the rather sudden nineteenth-century emergence of unbelief as a widespread social and intellectual option in the English-speaking world. Lundin's narrative focuses on key poets and novelists from the past two centuries - Dostoevsky, Dickinson, Melville, Auden and more - showing how they portray the modern mind in tension between faith and doubt. Such theologians as Barth and Balthasar also enter the discussion, facing the challenge of modern unbelief with a creative brilliance that has gone largely unnoticed outside the world of faith. Lundin's Believing Again is a beautifully written, erudite examination of the drama and dynamics of belief in the modern world."
