Recovering Evangelicals #4 Plato’s Cave: Boyd’s story
Boyd Blundell describes his journey through Christian faith, including the experiences which seriously challenged the traditional form that he grew up with, and which now motivate him to present a faith that evolved through facing those challenges.
In particular, he found an intellectual rigidity within Christian communities as well as within intellectual/academic circles in the university setting which he found stifling and hypocritical.
He also describes a formative period in his university life at a Christian College in which questioning of his belief system was encouraged. Surprisingly — or perhaps not so, looking back in hindsight — this did not threaten his faith, but greatly strengthened it.
