 Most people, even the most devout, struggle with issues about G‑d. We sit in the synagogue during the High Holidays and affirm the essentials of Judaism in theory, but when it comes to trusting G‑d with our daily lives, we share a secret, painful fear that G‑d isn't really looking out for us. Many have been brought up under the assumption that mainstream science is incompatible with genuine Jewish faith—so when they see compelling evidence for biological evolution, for example, they feel forced to choose between science and their faith. Wrestling with Faith was created for tackling questions like these, the “big issues” that keep people from intimate faith with G‑d. In Wrestling with Faith, we acknowledge the often unspoken doubts and questions that all people share—as we share their invitation for us to dig deeper for the answers. In Wrestling with Faith, JLI offers a steady and inspiring voice to help us reaffirm and understand our faith in a world where nothing seems solid or permanent. Drawing upon 3,000 years of Jewish knowledge, as well as a storehouse of literary, psychological, and theological insights, the course examines the fears and doubts that challenge us. It is in these struggles to find meaning that the course lays out a path for belief in a world struggling to find faith; but perhaps more important, it helps us find our own rhythm within which to walk that path.
