Fr Louis has recommended we read the book, ‘Humbler Faith, Bigger God’ by Rev Dr Samuel Wells, Vicar of St Martin-in-the- Fields. Is Christianity just a fairy tale for the infantile? Or worse, a cruel fantasy - the perpetrator of terrible harm and the cause of endless conflict? Or at most, one path among many? Such questions reflect the scepticism of outsiders and the doubts of insiders - some perennial, some underscored by recent events and movements. The answer to these objections isn’t a louder faith to shout them down - it’s a humbler faith that points to a bigger God. Samuel Wells shows the way through his generous, respectful, and earnest engagement with ten difficult questions about Christianity. In each case he portrays the traditional position and the scepticism of the modern age as two rival stories. Transcending both, he then offers a revitalised Christian story that better renders the radical, courageous, and vulnerable nature of authentic faith. Sam is unwaveringly honest about the failures of the institutional church and acknowledges many people’s negative prior experiences of Christianity - making this a book for both Christians and non-Christians who have found the stories of their lives disrupted and now seek a fulfilling and truthful story to live by.Sam Wells has been Vicar of St Martin-in-the-Fields in London since 2012. He has served as a parish priest for 25 years – 10 of those in urban priority areas. He also spent 7 years in North Carolina, where he was Dean of Duke University Chapel. Sam’s book is available from Amazon here.
