About this book
George T. Ashley traces the changes in his religious beliefs from a childhood shaped by strict church teaching to a faith guided by reason and personal inquiry. His spiritual autobiography grew out of sermons and lectures, and he presents theological questions through their effect on his own life. The opening recalls a home where the family church claimed exclusive authority and every word of the Bible was accepted as literally true.
Later, Ashley describes a period of agnosticism, his continued habits of study, and the gradual formation of a new confession of faith. His discussion turns toward evolution, the order of the universe, and the grounds for belief in God. Throughout, he asks how inherited convictions can be tested against evidence and experience. Readers interested in religious change will find a personal account of the intellectual and emotional pressures involved in reconsidering a creed.
