Proper Confidence by Lesslie Newbigin
Faith, Doubt and Certainty in Christian Discipleship
A reflection on the nature of Christian assurance that argues for a humble but resolute trust in the reality and truth of the gospel, exploring how faith, doubt and certainty relate in the life of discipleship; it challenges both smug certainties and paralysing scepticism by locating proper confidence in the lived, public witness of the church to the crucified and risen Christ, engages contemporary philosophical and cultural objections to belief, and calls Christians to a persuasive, truthful engagement with pluralist societies while maintaining intellectual integrity and pastoral sensitivity.
