Jeffrey Robbins

In this compelling work, Jeffrey Robbins explores the intricate and often ambiguous relationship between faith, doubt, belief, and resistance. He comes to the subject from a theo-poetic perspective to unpack both radical literary and political themes. Robbins challenges the traditional idea of religious faith as certainty and instead presents faith as a paradoxical stance gained only through uncertainty, moral questions, and often social upheavals. Relying on personal experience and his thorough knowledge of historical figures, fictional narratives, and contemporary political issues, Robbins shows how individuals and communities can navigate their way through existential and ethical challenges by willingly embracing positions traditional theology considers damned.
