Thoughtful Christians are legitimately perplexed by a number of issues relating to the church’s belief and practice. They are perplexed partly because they recognize that the issues themselves are thorny, and partly because they are not sure how to test the mutually inconsistent theories and explanations affirmed by diverse voices speaking with equal assurance.
Most Christians find relatively little occasion or encouragement to address their perplexities with intellectual candor and integrity. If they dare to acknowledge their theological perplexities at all, they are too often told that these perplexities are unimportant, or that they can be answered very simply, or that they should be left to the experts.
Guide for the Christian Perplexed, written by members of the faculty of Wycliffe College, Toronto, aims to explore a diversity of issues and questions to do with
oour knowledge of Jesus
othe meaning of suffering

othe understanding of Scripture
othe place of other religions

othe pleasures and complications of sexuality
othe nature of worship
othe way to evangelize
ounderstanding who our neighbor is locally and globally
odiversities of spirituality
Here you will find thoughtful reflections and answers to the questions around these issues. A study guide is included for individual and group use.
