WHAT HAPPENS WHEN FAITH STOPS ASKING QUESTIONS?Most of us begin our spiritual lives with questions. Faith, at its best, is a journey and deeply personal. But for millions of people around the world, that journey ends the moment belief changes into absolute certainty. In the first volume of this two-part exploration, author Shawn Jipp - himself a former believer - examines how faith can sometimes transform into fundamentalism. Drawing on modern biblical scholarship, science, and history, he asks the questions that many have thought, but few have dared to say aloud: What does the evidence actually tell us about the existence of a divine creator? Is the Bible truly the inerrant word of God? And when religious belief conflicts with scientific understanding, which do we trust - and why? This is not an attack on faith. It is an honest, respectful, and carefully reasoned invitation to think more deeply about what we believe, how we came to believe it, and whether certainty itself might be the greatest obstacle to genuine spiritual growth. Thought-provoking, accessible, and written with both compassion and clarity, FUNDAMENTALISM: Blind Faith is for anyone who has ever asked the hard questions - and wondered if they were allowed to.
