Even those who live by faith sometimes doubt. Those doubts don't have to mean the end of Christian identity.
In Surprised by Doubt, Joshua Chatraw and Jack Carson help listeners rediscover a deeper faith in the midst of a confusing world. They invite skeptics and doubters to explore the ancient faith for a new perspective on contemporary Christianity.
Chatraw and Carson build on C. S. Lewis's metaphor that envisions Christianity as a house with many rooms, suggesting that readers move beyond the cramped attic of reactionary versions of the faith to explore the larger, more ancient main floors of the house.
With pastoral care and intellectual rigor, Chatraw and Carson not only help Christians think through the issues confronting them. They also help listeners engage their emotional journey of anxiety, fear, anger, and frustration. Listeners will discover the wisdom of the past and ways to reimagine a life of faith alongside doubt.
The Jack Carson Show was a radio situation comedy that ran from 1943 until 1947, with Hollywood character actor Jack Carson playing a fictionalized version of himself as a none-too-bright movie star. Every week, he dealt with strange friends, neighbors and relatives in his hectic life in Hollywood. Jack Carson was best known and most remembered for supporting roles as comic relief, often wisecracking know-it-alls who were undone by their own overconfidence. He played this type of role in movies such as "Bringing Up Baby", "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" and "Arsenic and Old Lace". Occasionally, he was able to show his dramatic skills, in films such as "Mildred Pierce", "Cat On a Hot Tin Roof" and the James Mason-Judy Garland version of "A Star Is Born". This hilarious collection contains twenty half hour shows, primarily from 1947 and features a rare 1954 Audition show.
