A personal account of doubt and changing faith

Rachel Held Evans places her questions about Christianity against two backdrops: her upbringing in a culture centered on apologetics and the history of her hometown, associated with the Scopes Monkey Trial. She traces a movement from certainty through doubt toward a faith she believes must adapt if it is to survive. The book frames difficult questions not simply as threats to belief, but as part of Evans’s effort to separate faith from what she calls false fundamentals. Its focus is her own spiritual journey and the ideas that reshaped it.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults interested in personal accounts of religious doubt and spiritual change
  • Christians considering how faith relates to difficult questions and changing ideas
  • Readers interested in the Scopes Monkey Trial’s connection to a personal religious story

Book overview

From New York Times bestselling author Rachel Held Evans: a must-read for anyone on the journey of doubt, deconstruction, and ultimately faith reborn.

Eighty years after the Scopes Monkey Trial made a spectacle of Christian fundamentalism and brought national attention to her hometown, Rachel Held Evans faced a trial of her own when she began to have doubts about her faith.

In Faith Unraveled, Rachel recounts growing up in a culture obsessed with apologetics, struggling as her own faith unraveled one unexpected question at a time.

In order for her faith to survive, Rachel realizes, it must adapt to change and evolve. Using as an illustration her own spiritual journey from certainty to doubt to faith, Evans challenges you to disentangle your faith from false fundamentals and to trust in a God who is big enough to handle your tough questions.

In a changing cultural environment where new ideas seem to threaten the safety and security of the faith, Faith Unraveled is a profoundly moving, fearlessly honest, and relentlessly hopeful story of survival.

This book was previously titled Evolving in Monkey Town.
