Speaking of God: We Don’t Know $hit: A Former Minister Reflects on God and Religion

An honest and penetrating examination of religious practices and beliefs, including belief in God, from former minister turned iconoclast D.B. Ramsey.After spending nearly ten years studying religion at prestigious academic institutions including Duke and Princeton and a decade as a Baptist minister, D.B. Ramsey experienced a crisis of faith and walked away from the ministry.In this candid, witty and stimulating book, Ramsey invokes biblical scholarship, human psychology, classic philosophy and modern literature — as well as common sense and his own personal experience — to critically examine religion. He traces the journey of his own doubt, from the foundation of Christianity to the very existence of God.Those who have had doubts about God or their faith will find this thoughtful and provocative book a refreshing exploration of popular religious beliefs and practices, filled with new context and food for thought. As Ramsey addresses topics ranging from God’s “protection” and “plan” to the practices of prayer and worship, it becomes clear… we don’t know sh*t.
