"A faith which never doubts is not worth having.

it's in the dialectic of faith and doubt that the reality of faith emerges.

the enemy of faith is not doubt,

but rather the sheer insensitivity of mind that doesn't see what all the fuss is about.

we have to go from the intellectualized problem down to the deeper existential problem"

where the virtue is hope, not faith. the opposite of hope is not doubt, but despair.

moving through the dark valley of despair to the land of hope and promise.
