Changing Your Mind Without Losing Your Faith

David M. Holley Β· 2022
91/100
πŸ‘ Worth It

David M. Holley brings over forty years of philosophy teaching to a subject many Christians navigate privately: how to revise inherited beliefs without abandoning faith altogether. Published by Cascade Books in 2022, the book draws on mainstream theological tools like divine accommodation and progressive revelation, and Holley writes with the compassion of someone who has lived the journey himself. For readers wrestling with intellectual or moral doubts about traditional Christianity, the philosophical rigor and personal honesty here will feel like a genuine gift. The honest caveat is equally important for this site's audience: the book explicitly moves away from conservative evangelical positions toward a more progressive theological framework, so families with traditional commitments should understand that going in. This is not a book that reinforces orthodoxy β€” it is a book that reframes it. Thoughtful adult readers in transition will find it most valuable.
