Soul Doubt

In 2016, suicide and depression are at an epidemic high in the United States. The World Health Organization predicts that by 2020 depression will be the most diagnosed medical problem in the world second to heart disease. Little, if anything, is being done to battle this disaster by our government or health leaders. Medicine, science and psychology cannot answer why this is happening but Author and Psychotherapist, Leo Battenhausen has a theory. America has Soul Doubt on God. People are seeking assistance to feel better in all the wrong places as belief in God keeps getting ignored by society and the media causing catastrophic effects. Battenhausen combines the field of psychology with the healthy SOUL to demonstrate how people can feel better again if they allow God into their lives and simply BELIEVE! A compelling read for the believer and non-believer alike. Soul Doubt illustrates the decline of morality in America today brought about by technology, social media and a government that has virtually kicked God out of society and institutions and had allowed evil forces to dominate our lives and minds. Where science, medicine and psychology have hit a brick wall when it comes to WHY, Soul Doubt breaks through with solution-focused answers and PROVEN ways to battle depression and suicide.

"Why do the Gospels depict the risen Jesus as touchable and able to eat? J. D. Atkins challenges the common view that Luke 24 and John 20 are apologetic responses to docetism by re-examining the redaction of the appearance stories in light of their reception among early docetists and church fathers."--Page 4 of cover.

From Freud to the new atheists, it is widely assumed that science is the enemy of religious faith. The idea is so pervasive that whole industries of religious apologetics converge around the challenge of Darwin, evolution, and the "secular worldview." This book challenges such assumptions by proposing a different cause of unbelief in the West: the Christian conscience. Tracing a history of doubt and unbelief from the Reformation to the age of Darwin and Karl Marx, 'The soul of doubt' argues that the most powerful solvents of religious orthodoxy have been concepts of moral equity and personal freedom generated by Christianity itself. The book demonstrates that the radical criticism of philosophers as influential as Spinoza, Voltaire and Ludwig Feuerbach was not the product of science. It emerged from a collision between religious values and religious practices, preeminently acts of persecution. This study offers a bold interpretation of the Enlightenment as a movement of vigorous spirituality, and it turns on its head conventional wisdom about the impact of Darwin and scientific naturalism.0The "nemesis of faith" was not science or secular reason: it was an ethical intuition that a dangerous God cannot be real.
